Asbestos garage roof removal near Haslemere
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and sheet garages, we deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes and more.
In a smaller place like Haslemere, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Questions from Haslemere
Do you work on properties 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 asbestos common in Haslemere homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Haslemere may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you cover Haslemere?
Yes, Haslemere is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. We plan garage roof jobs in Haslemere for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
