Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Church Town properties
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and garage conversions.
In places like Church Town, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Church Town: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Church Town homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Church Town can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Godstone station?
Yes. Godstone station is about 2 miles south of Church Town, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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 does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
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 you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Why people call us in Church Town

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you let a house with a garage near Godstone station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
