Asbestos garage roof removal for South Moreton properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and garage conversions, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
In a village like South Moreton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for South Moreton
Do you cover South Moreton from London?
South Moreton is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Typical garage roof jobs in South Moreton
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These are some of the things we deal with in South Moreton:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage conversions
If you are a landlord with garages near Cholsey station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before booking anyone
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
After we have finished in South Moreton
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work done to the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
- Covering London and the South East
