Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Loxhill
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From broken sheets after high winds and double garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Loxhill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Loxhill
Is asbestos common in Loxhill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Loxhill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
