Asbestos garage roof removal for Bramley
Asbestos garage roof removal for Bramley properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. From roofs to clear before demolition and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters and more.
In a smaller place like Bramley, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Bramley: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Bramley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bramley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Shalford station?
Yes. Shalford station is about 1.5 miles north of Bramley, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you cover Bramley?
Yes. We cover Bramley and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Bramley, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we’ve finished in Bramley
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Typical garage roof jobs in Bramley
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-to roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the B2129, tell us about parking and access.
