How asbestos garage roof removal works in Egham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about garage conversions and garages in a row or block.
In a town like Egham, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Egham
Is asbestos common in Egham homes?
If your home in Egham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Egham usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
