Asbestos garage roof removal near Epsom
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about storm-damaged sheets and single and double garage roofs.
In towns like Epsom, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, which are now brittle with age. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Epsom
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Epsom from London?
We cover Epsom, about 14 miles from central London.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Is my garage roof in Epsom asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Step by step
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. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. In December, it’s dark in Epsom by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
For businesses and landlords in Epsom
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
