Garage roofs across RG18
Across RG18, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, from the towns to the villages.
Hermitage: Older houses in Hermitage, near Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. For rented homes with garages close to Newbury Racecourse station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Garage roof removal in Hermitage is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in RG18, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Why people call us in RG18
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
These come up again and again:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Questions from RG18
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
