Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Buckland must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Buckland
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From old, cracked sheets and garage conversions, we deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Buckland, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Buckland
Do you work on properties 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.
Do you cover Buckland from London?
Buckland is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in Buckland?
Yes, Buckland is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Buckland for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions

What else we do in Buckland
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
