Asbestos garage roof removal for Whitegrove properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage blocks and old, cracked sheets.
In towns and villages like Whitegrove, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job

Whitegrove: your questions answered
My garage in Whitegrove has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Bracknell station?
Yes. Bracknell station is about 1.3 miles south-west of Whitegrove, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Typical garage roof jobs in Whitegrove
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.
These are some of the things we deal with in Whitegrove:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Double garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Heath Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
