Asbestos garage roof removal near Chobham
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chobham
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and garages being knocked down.
Homes in areas like Chobham often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Chobham
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
For garages on or near the A319, let us know where we can load.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
FAQs for Chobham
Do older homes in Chobham have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chobham may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Chobham from London?
Chobham is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What affects the price in Chobham
The cost depends on:
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets

Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Options to consider in Chobham
