DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Sulhamstead Abbots properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s block garages and garages due a new roof, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards.
Garages around Sulhamstead Abbots may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Common questions in Sulhamstead Abbots
Do older homes in Sulhamstead Abbots have asbestos?
If your home in Sulhamstead Abbots was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Theale station?
Yes. Theale station is about 1.9 miles north of Sulhamstead Abbots, and we cover both.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
