Asbestos garage roof removal for Yattendon properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s broken sheets after high winds and garages due for demolition, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
Rural garages near Yattendon are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.

- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Goring & Streatley station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

FAQs for Yattendon
Do older homes in Yattendon have 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.
Are garage roofs in Yattendon usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is my garage roof in Yattendon asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
