Asbestos garage roof removal for Farnborough
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Farnborough
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Farnborough. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and garages in a row or block, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In parts of London like Farnborough, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards

Questions from Farnborough
Do you cover Farnborough and the area around Orpington station?
Yes, we cover Farnborough and the area towards Orpington station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
My garage in Farnborough has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan garage roof jobs in Farnborough for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
