Asbestos garage roof removal in Limpsfield
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Limpsfield
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and double garages.
In towns and villages like Limpsfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Limpsfield questions
Do you come out to small villages like Limpsfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Limpsfield from London?
We cover Limpsfield, about 17 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
