About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hollywater
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and single garages, including cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Hollywater are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
The process
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. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. We plan garage roof jobs in Hollywater for daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear the way to the work area
How to get a quote
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Hollywater questions
Do you cover Hollywater from London?
We cover Hollywater, about 43 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Options to consider in Hollywater
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
