About our asbestos garage roof removal in Slough Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Slough Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and block garages, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Slough Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Slough Green
Could my house in Slough Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What affects the price in Slough Green
We base our quote on:
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- Travel and parking
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

- Garages being knocked down
For rented homes with garages close to Balcombe station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
