Asbestos garage roof removal in Dunsfold
Asbestos garage roof removal near Dunsfold
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and single and double garage roofs, involving bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters.
In a village like Dunsfold, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Dunsfold
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Dunsfold homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dunsfold may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we’re done:
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
Options to consider in Dunsfold
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
