Typical garage roof jobs in Leatherhead
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
Around Box Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Leatherhead
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and carport roofs, including cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns like Leatherhead, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Do you cover Leatherhead?
Yes, Leatherhead is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How do I know if my property contains 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.

Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

- A photo of the whole area
Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Leatherhead, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note.
