About our asbestos garage roof removal in Binscombe
Many garages built before 2000, in Binscombe and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about garage conversions and single and double garage roofs.
In places like Binscombe, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Why people call us in Binscombe
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Surrey.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages being knocked down
- Single and double garage roofs
Older houses in Binscombe, near St John the Evangelist Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Binscombe questions
Do you cover Binscombe and the area around Farncombe station?
Yes. Farncombe station is about 0.7 miles south-east of Binscombe, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Binscombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: 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. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Materials, one by one
