Asbestos garage roofs around Burpham
Burpham is about 1 mile north-east of Guildford, in Surrey. In Burpham, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We cover 395 places in Surrey.
If you let a house with a garage near London Road (Guildford) station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. Near open spaces such as Pewley Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
This part of Surrey takes in GU4 and GU1, and your garage roof job can be anywhere in it. Whether your property is on Clay Lane, Wells Road and London Road or a nearby road, we can help. We also carry out garage roof jobs in Merrow (1 mile south-east), Jacobs Well (1 mile north-west), Abbotswood (1 mile south-west), Guildford (1 mile south-west) and Bellfields (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Woking (4 miles north), Camberley (10 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles north-east), Farnham (11 miles west), Ewell (14 miles north-east) and Egham (12 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Guildford Castle (2 miles south-west) and Surrey Infantry Museum (1.4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Silent Pool and Pewley Down.
- Schools near Burpham include Burpham Foundation Primary School (less than half a mile north-west) and St Peter's Catholic School (0.8 miles south-east)
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- No removal until we know what it is

Questions from Burpham
Do you cover Burpham from London?
Burpham is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Also near Burpham
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
