Garage Roof Replacement in Wokingham
Roof repairs, re-roofs and flat roof specialists across Wokingham. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Wokingham Roofing Company replaces garage roofs across Wokingham — leaking felt on brick-built garages, corrugated sheets on concrete sectional garages, and the asbestos-cement roofs that came as standard on thousands of garages built from the 1950s to the 1980s. Garages get the cheapest roof at build time and no maintenance afterwards, which is why so many around Wokingham are now failing at once.
The right replacement depends on what the garage is: a brick garage with a timber deck is a straightforward flat-roofing job, while a concrete sectional garage needs lightweight sheets its frame can carry — and anything asbestos-era needs checking before a single fixing comes out.
Garage types and the right roof for each
Brick garage, timber deck
Old felt stripped, deck repaired or renewed in 18mm OSB3, then covered in EPDM rubber — a one-piece membrane with a 30–50 year life for not much more than new felt.
Concrete sectional garage
Panel-built garages need lightweight sheeting: fibre cement or box-profile steel on the existing purlins, with new fixings and translucent panels for light if wanted.
Asbestos-cement sheets
Common on pre-1985 garages. Sheets are surveyed first; where removal is needed it's handled under Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 procedures, with licensed contractors engaged where the material requires it and disposal documented.
Pitched garage roofs
Tiled garage roofs are treated like any small re-roof — new breathable membrane, battens and tiles, often matched to the house.

The asbestos question, answered straight
If your garage was built before the mid-1980s and has grey corrugated sheets, treat them as asbestos cement until proven otherwise. In good condition and left alone they're low risk — the danger is drilling, breaking or pressure washing them. That's why we survey first: sampling confirms what the sheets are, and then removal follows the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, with sheets taken down whole, double-bagged, and disposed of at a licensed facility with the paperwork to show for it. Where the material or condition demands licensed contractors, licensed contractors do that part — no shortcuts, because the fines and the health risk both belong to whoever cuts corners.
Once the old sheets are off, modern fibre cement or steel sheeting goes on the same frame, and the garage is done for another forty years.
