Asbestos garage roof removal in Broadford
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about concrete-panel garages and garage conversions, including cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters.
Garages around Broadford may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Typical garage roof jobs in Broadford
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Shalford station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

What else we do in Broadford
Broadford questions
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.
Could my house in Broadford contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Broadford may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Broadford were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
