How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chaldon
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From concrete-panel garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In a village like Chaldon, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Chaldon
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage conversions
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
For rented homes with garages close to Caterham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Comparing quotes
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What category of work it is

For businesses and landlords in Chaldon

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Chaldon is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready

Chaldon: your questions answered
Do you cover Chaldon from London?
Chaldon is about 15 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Chaldon have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chaldon can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces

Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
