How asbestos garage roof removal works in Woodley
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Woodley. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about garages due for demolition and garages in a row or block.
In a town like Woodley, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do 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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

FAQs for Woodley
Do you cover Woodley and the area around Winnersh Triangle station?
Yes, we cover Woodley and the area towards Winnersh Triangle station, about 1.2 miles south.
Could my house in Woodley contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Woodley asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
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.
