How asbestos garage roof removal works in Farnham
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about single and double garage roofs and lean-tos and carports.
In towns like Farnham, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, which are now brittle with age. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Farnham questions
How far is Farnham from London?
We cover Farnham, about 36 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Farnham generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. It helps if we can park nearby. We plan garage roof jobs in Farnham for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.

Duty holders and landlords in Farnham
If your business premises in Farnham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
