What else we do in Farncombe
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What we deal with in Farncombe
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garage blocks
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Around Frith Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How fibres will be kept down
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

FAQs for Farncombe
How far is Farncombe from London?
We cover Farncombe, about 30 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Farncombe typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
