Asbestos garage roof removal for Byfleet
Asbestos garage roof removal in Byfleet
Many garages built before 2000, in Byfleet and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From storm-damaged sheets and lean-to roofs, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Byfleet, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Byfleet
Do you cover Byfleet and the area around Byfleet & New Haw station?
Yes. Byfleet & New Haw station is about 0.8 miles north of Byfleet, and we cover both.
Could my house in Byfleet contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Byfleet can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
