Asbestos garage roof removal near Abinger Common

In a village like Abinger Common, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After we’ve finished:
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Options to consider in Abinger Common
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Do you work near Gomshall station?
Yes, we cover Abinger Common and the area towards Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles north-west.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
