Twyford: your questions answered
Do older homes in Twyford have asbestos?
If your home in Twyford 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 cover Twyford and the area around Twyford station?
Yes. Twyford station is close to the centre of Twyford, and we cover the whole area.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, 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.
What happens
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Twyford is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
