Asbestos garage roof removal near Sunningdale
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Sunningdale. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From garages due a new roof and garage blocks, we cover ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In Sunningdale, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Sunningdale is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork

- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Find any old asbestos reports

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Sunningdale, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
