Asbestos garage roof removal for The Holt properties
Many garages built before 2000, in The Holt and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and sheet garages.
Rural garages near The Holt are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from The Holt
My garage in The Holt has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Wargrave station?
Yes, we cover The Holt and the area towards Wargrave station, about 1.7 miles west.
Do you cover The Holt?
Yes. We cover The Holt and the surrounding area as part of Wokingham. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
