Asbestos garage roof removal for Stroude
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Stroude 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 broken sheets after high winds and lean-to roofs, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
In a village like Stroude, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Stroude: your questions answered
Do you cover Stroude and the area around Virginia Water station?
Yes. Virginia Water station is about 0.7 miles south of Stroude, and we cover both.
Do you cover Stroude from London?
We cover Stroude, about 21 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
