Asbestos garage roof removal near Tidmarsh
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Tidmarsh tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and garage blocks, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In places like Tidmarsh, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Tidmarsh garages: local notes
Tidmarsh is about 5 miles west of Reading, in Oxfordshire. Tidmarsh is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Tidmarsh is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we work.
Around Moor Copse Nature Reserve, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. For rented homes with garages close to Pangbourne station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Tidmarsh is within about 8 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in RG8. Local streets include Strachey Close and Tidmarsh Lane; we cover every one.

Questions from Tidmarsh
Do you work near Pangbourne station?
Yes. Pangbourne station is about 1.1 miles north of Tidmarsh, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Tidmarsh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After we have finished:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
What affects the price in Tidmarsh
Every quote reflects:
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What we deal with in Tidmarsh
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheet garages
- Garage blocks
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
In Tidmarsh, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
Before you book anyone

For businesses and landlords in Tidmarsh
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Tidmarsh must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
