How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chithurst
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. From garages due a new roof and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces and more.
Rural garages near Chithurst are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Chithurst
Are garage roofs in Chithurst normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Chithurst from London?
We cover Chithurst, about 46 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Chithurst is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
