Asbestos garage roof removal for Linchmere properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Linchmere and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From pieces of broken roof and garage conversions, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Linchmere, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Linchmere
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Lynchmere Commons, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.

What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Garage roof removal in Linchmere is planned around daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole

Getting ready
- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Linchmere questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Linchmere?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Linchmere were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
