Asbestos garage roof removal in Skinners Green
Asbestos garage roof removal in Skinners Green
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about single garages and garage blocks.
Garages around Skinners Green may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Skinners Green: your questions answered
Do older homes in Skinners Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Skinners Green and the area around Newbury station?
Yes. Newbury station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Skinners Green, and we cover both.
Do you work in Skinners Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Skinners Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
