Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Surrey still have them.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Double garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Across Jacobs Well, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
What your quote should include

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Jacobs Well
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Jacobs Well and the area around Worplesdon station?
Yes, we cover Jacobs Well and the area towards Worplesdon station, about 1.5 miles north.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
