Your questions about garage roof removal in Lingfield Common
Do older homes in Lingfield Common have asbestos?
If your home in Lingfield Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Lingfield Common from London?
Lingfield Common is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Wall panels

Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Reports and results you can share
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
