Asbestos garage roof removal in Stratfield Mortimer
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garage conversions and single garages, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In places like Stratfield Mortimer, garages are often one of several outbuildings with 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.

Stratfield Mortimer: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Stratfield Mortimer normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Stratfield Mortimer have asbestos?
If your home in Stratfield Mortimer was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
