Responsibilities for owners

Lower Bourne questions
How far is Lower Bourne from London?
We cover Lower Bourne, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Options to consider in Lower Bourne
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Domestic and commercial work
- Reports and results you can share

How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Late-December sunset in Lower Bourne is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

After we’ve finished in Lower Bourne
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Carport roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
Around Farnham Heath, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
