Asbestos garage roof removal near Ewell Minnis
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Ewell Minnis tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about garage blocks and garages being knocked down.
Rural garages near Ewell Minnis are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Ewell Minnis: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Ewell Minnis generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Ewell Minnis have asbestos?
Any home in Ewell Minnis built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is my garage roof in Ewell Minnis asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.

Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Typical garage roof jobs in Ewell Minnis
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ewell Minnis:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
For rented homes with garages close to Kearsney station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Duty holders and landlords in Ewell Minnis
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ewell Minnis must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
