Asbestos garage roof removal near Cramhurst
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and garage blocks, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes.
Rural garages near Cramhurst are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Cramhurst
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cramhurst must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Cramhurst questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Cramhurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
