Common questions in Arford
Are garage roofs in Arford usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
What we deal with in Arford
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Near open spaces such as Deadwater Valley, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What category of work it is
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The documents you’ll receive
Can I do it myself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
