How asbestos garage roof removal works in Spencers Wood
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are double garages and block garages.
In Spencers Wood, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Spencers Wood
Is asbestos common in Spencers Wood homes?
Any home in Spencers Wood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Spencers Wood and the area around Reading Green Park station?
Yes. Reading Green Park station is about 2.6 miles north-west of Spencers Wood, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
After we have finished in Spencers Wood
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

To be clear about the scope:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
