Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work

What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chertsey
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In areas like Chertsey, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Chertsey: your questions answered
Do you cover Chertsey and the area around Chertsey station?
Yes. Chertsey station is close to the centre of Chertsey, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Chertsey from London?
We cover Chertsey, about 19 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What else we do in Chertsey
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Options to consider in Chertsey
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
Why people call us in Chertsey
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Garages on busy roads like the A317 and A320 need loading planned in advance.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get
- How fibres will be kept down
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The scope of the job, in writing
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Chertsey, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chertsey must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
