How asbestos garage roof removal works in Horton
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Horton. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include block garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Garages around Horton may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Questions from Horton
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.
Are garage roofs in Horton normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
How we price garage roof removal
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- The access route
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Duty holders and landlords in Horton
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
How we work in Horton
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Clear written quotes
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Pieces of broken roof
If you let a house with a garage near Chessington South station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What category of work it is
Horton garages: local notes
Horton is about 1 mile north-west of Epsom, in Surrey. Horton is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Horton to London (13 miles away).
In Horton, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs. Around Bonesgate Open Space, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. Horton is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
We handle garage roof jobs in every part of the KT19 and KT9 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a property on Horton Lane, Oakwood Avenue and Jenner Way or the roads around them, wherever it is in Horton.
