Asbestos garage roof removal for Binsted properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include double garages and garages being knocked down, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Binsted may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

FAQs for Binsted
Do you cover Binsted from London?
We cover Binsted, about 41 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I get a quote?
