How asbestos garage roof removal works in Grayshott
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From old, cracked sheets and single garages, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
Homes in areas like Grayshott often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Grayshott
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages being knocked down
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
- Sheet garages
For rented homes with garages close to Haslemere station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

For businesses and landlords in Grayshott
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After we have finished in Grayshott
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
