Asbestos garage roof removal near Sunninghill
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Sunninghill
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about garage blocks and roofs to clear before demolition, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Sunninghill, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Sunninghill
How far is Sunninghill from London?
Sunninghill is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Sunninghill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sunninghill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sunninghill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
