Asbestos garage roof removal near Chipstead
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about sheet garages and double garages.
In Chipstead, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

The scope of garage roof removal

- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Visible markings
- Approximate dimensions
- The access route
- An overall view

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
