Asbestos garage roof removal for East Shalford
Asbestos garage roof removal near East Shalford
An old asbestos cement garage roof in East Shalford tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around East Shalford may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

- Disposal costs
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.

- Where we could park
- A photo of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
You will get a written quote. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

FAQs for East Shalford
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Are garage roofs in East Shalford typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
