Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan garage roof jobs in Egham Hythe for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit

- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Egham Hythe questions
Is asbestos common in Egham Hythe homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Egham Hythe can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Egham Hythe from London?
We cover Egham Hythe, about 19 miles from central London.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
