FAQs for Ewhurst Green
Is asbestos common in Ewhurst Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ewhurst Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ewhurst Green and the area around Ockley station?
Yes. Ockley station is about 4.2 miles east of Ewhurst Green, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ewhurst Green
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due for demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Sheet garages
Near open spaces such as Leith Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The documents you’ll receive
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
For businesses and landlords in Ewhurst Green
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Ewhurst Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Keep weight off the roof.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
