Asbestos garage roof removal for Ashford properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about broken sheets after high winds and garages being knocked down.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Ashford, and the roof is usually the first job. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ashford:
- Double garages
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Pieces of broken roof
Properties near Staines Reservoirs may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What isn’t included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
How we price garage roof removal
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey scope
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Options to consider in Ashford
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:

- High winds can delay roof work
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Questions from Ashford
Do you cover Ashford from London?
We cover Ashford, about 17 miles from central London.
Do you work near Ashford Surrey station?
Yes. Ashford Surrey station is close to the centre of Ashford, and we cover the whole area.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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 is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
