What we deal with in Barford
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage conversions
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Sheet garages
Older houses in Barford, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- What category of work it is
- What paperwork you get
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Which laboratory analyses samples

Why choose us

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Across London and the South East

Read our prices page or our cost guide.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone

Common questions in Barford
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.
Is asbestos common in Barford homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
