Garage roofs in Upper Basildon
Upper Basildon is about 7 miles north-east of Thatcham, in Oxfordshire. Upper Basildon has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 8 miles away.

Asbestos garage roof removal near Upper Basildon
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From storm-damaged sheets and lean-tos and carports, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
In areas like Upper Basildon, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
For businesses and landlords in Upper Basildon
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Upper Basildon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Why people call us in Upper Basildon
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Sheet garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-tos and carports
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If you’re a landlord with garages near Pangbourne station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Common questions in Upper Basildon
Do you cover small places like Upper Basildon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Upper Basildon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
