Asbestos garage roof removal in Horsell
Your questions about garage roof removal in Horsell
Are garage roofs in Horsell typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Horsell have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Horsell
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From brittle, leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In places like Horsell, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages in a row or block
- Single and double garage roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
Properties near Gracious Pond may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Horsell, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
