How asbestos garage roof removal works in RG26

Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around RG26. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and lean-to roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.

We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else.

Give us the size of the garage and the access
We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Garage roof removal in RG26

Garages across RG26, from Tadley, Rooksdown and Bramley to 20 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.

Tadley: Garages on busy roads like the A340 and B3051 need loading planned in advance. Across Tadley, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000. In December, it’s dark in Tadley by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

DIY and asbestos

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.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Responsibilities for owners

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in RG26, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Photos that help

A few photos can save a site visit:

Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
An overall view
The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Where we could park

Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.

Afterwards

Share the paperwork with your builder.

Send photos of the whole garage and the access
File the waste paperwork
Let neighbours know beforehand
Book your roofer in advance

Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Choosing the right option

Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too.

Questions from RG26

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

How quickly can you come out?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Can you remove the whole garage?

We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
