Questions from Meadvale
Do you cover Meadvale and the area around Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes. Earlswood (Surrey) station is about 0.7 miles east of Meadvale, and we cover both.
Do you cover Meadvale from London?
Meadvale is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Meadvale asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

What else we do in Meadvale
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Meadvale
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Carport roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single and double garage roofs
Garages on busy roads like the A2044 need loading planned in advance.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
