About our asbestos garage roof removal in Cobham
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Cobham. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From old, cracked sheets and broken sheets after high winds, we cover downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In areas like Cobham, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Cobham by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking

Cobham questions
Are garage roofs in Cobham usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station?
Yes. Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station is about 1.1 miles south of Cobham, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in Cobham?
Yes, we do: Cobham is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

For businesses and landlords in Cobham

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
