Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

FAQs for Grayswood
Do you cover small places like Grayswood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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 damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Grayswood were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
After we’ve finished:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Typical garage roof jobs in Grayswood
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Double garages
- Garages due for demolition

Near open spaces such as Gibbet Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
