Asbestos garage roof removal near Horley
Asbestos garage roof removal near Horley
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Horley. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From garages before a new roof or conversion and garage blocks, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
In areas like Horley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What else we do in Horley
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Horley
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Horley, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

Your questions about garage roof removal in Horley
Could my house in Horley contain asbestos?
Any home in Horley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Horley from London?
We cover Horley, about 69 miles from central London.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What we deal with in Horley
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

- Garages being knocked down
