Asbestos garage roof removal near Merrow
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and garages due a new roof, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In Merrow, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Merrow were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Across London and the South East

FAQs for Merrow
Do you cover Merrow from London?
We cover Merrow, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you cover Merrow and the area around Clandon station?
Yes. Clandon station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Merrow, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
