Garages around Ewhurst may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Ewhurst: your questions answered
My garage in Ewhurst has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Ewhurst homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.

- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ewhurst
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Sheet garages
- Single garages
- Block garages
Near open spaces such as Leith Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
