Asbestos garage roof removal for Little Bookham
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Surrey still have them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages in a row or block
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Bookham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Little Bookham questions
Do older homes in Little Bookham have asbestos?
Any home in Little Bookham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Little Bookham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Going forward:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
