Asbestos garage roof removal in Churt
Asbestos garage roof removal for Churt properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about garage blocks and sheet garages, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
In a village like Churt, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Churt garages: local notes
Churt is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Churt has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
In Churt, many garages and sheds were added decades ago. Properties near Gibbet Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together. Churt is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
We carry out garage roof jobs all over the GU10 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Crossways, Moreton Close and Barford Lane or a nearby road, we can help. Close by, we cover Barford (1 mile south), Green Cross (1 mile east), Crosswater (1 mile north), Whitmoor Vale (1 mile south) and Beacon Hill (1 mile south-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Guildford (12 miles north-east), Woking (15 miles north-east), Camberley (14 miles north), Farnham (5 miles north), Frimley (12 miles north) and Haslemere (4 miles south-east).

Looking after things afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.

Why people call us in Churt
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Surrey still have them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Block garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single garages
For rented homes with garages close to Haslemere station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The documents you’ll receive
- How fibres will be kept down
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work done to the regulations

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Questions from Churt
Do you cover Churt from London?
Churt is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Churt and the area around Haslemere station?
Yes, we cover Churt and the area towards Haslemere station, about 4.3 miles south-east.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
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.
