Asbestos garage roof removal for Molesey properties
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and garages being knocked down, including downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Molesey, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Molesey
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes

What happens
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Molesey by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Mention any parking restrictions

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Typical garage roof jobs in Molesey
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage conversions
- Garages in a row or block
- Sheet garages
- Double garages
Older houses in Molesey, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Any exclusions
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Molesey: your questions answered
Do you cover Molesey and the area around Hampton Court station?
Yes, we cover Molesey and the area towards Hampton Court station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
Is asbestos common in Molesey homes?
Any home in Molesey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
