Asbestos garage roof removal for Mid Holmwood
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mid Holmwood
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Mid Holmwood. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and block garages.
In a village like Mid Holmwood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

They’re removed whole where possible.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Mid Holmwood: your questions answered
Do you work near Holmwood station?
Yes, we cover Mid Holmwood and the area towards Holmwood station, about 1.6 miles south.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is my garage roof in Mid Holmwood asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
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?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
