How asbestos garage roof removal works in East Molesey
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garage conversions and double garages, including cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In East Molesey, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

East Molesey questions
Are garage roofs in East Molesey usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover East Molesey and the area around Hampton Court station?
Yes, we cover East Molesey and the area towards Hampton Court station, about 0.5 miles east.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in East Molesey?
Yes. We cover East Molesey and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Responsibilities for owners
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in East Molesey by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Find any old asbestos reports

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Surrey.
These are some of the things we deal with in East Molesey:
- Single garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Block garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in East Molesey, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
Before you book anyone
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- VAT, clearly stated
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Accredited laboratory results
- Work done to the regulations
- Covering London and the South East
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
