Asbestos garage roof removal for Wargrave properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and garage blocks.
In a smaller place like Wargrave, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Wargrave by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Questions from Wargrave
Do you cover Wargrave from London?
We cover Wargrave, about 33 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Wargrave homes?
Any home in Wargrave built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in Wargrave?
Yes, we do: Wargrave is within the area we cover in Wokingham. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
After we have finished:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
