Claygate: your questions answered
Do you work near Claygate station?
Yes, we cover Claygate, including the streets around Claygate station.
How far is Claygate from London?
Claygate is about 14 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you work in Claygate?
Yes. We cover Claygate and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Claygate were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Why people call us in Claygate
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
Near open spaces such as The Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- VAT, clearly stated
