About our asbestos garage roof removal in Winterbourne
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Winterbourne is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Garages around Winterbourne may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Winterbourne
Do you work near Newbury station?
Yes, we cover Winterbourne and the area towards Newbury station, about 3.4 miles south.
Do you cover small places like Winterbourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Duty holders and landlords in Winterbourne
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
