Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ash Vale
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Ash Vale station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Ash Vale properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Ash Vale, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Ash Vale, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
FAQs for Ash Vale
Do older homes in Ash Vale have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ash Vale can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Ash Vale from London?
We cover Ash Vale, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you cover Ash Vale?
We do: Ash Vale is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- 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
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
