About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chiddingfold
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and lean-to roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In a village like Chiddingfold, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Chiddingfold
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 older homes in Chiddingfold have asbestos?
If your home in Chiddingfold was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once we are done:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Chiddingfold by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
