Asbestos garage roof removal for Dora's Green
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Dora's Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and lean-tos and carports, we cover bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Dora's Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What happens
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Dora's Green by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Dora's Green
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due for demolition
Near open spaces such as Beacon Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
FAQs for Dora's Green
Could my house in Dora's Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dora's Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Dora's Green and the area towards Farnham station, about 2.3 miles south-east.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is my garage roof in Dora's Green asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
