Asbestos garage roof removal in Albury Heath
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and storm-damaged sheets.
Garages around Albury Heath may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Albury Heath
My garage in Albury Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
After we’ve finished in Albury Heath
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Albury Heath

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
Near open spaces such as Silent Pool, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
