Asbestos garage roof removal in Nalderswood
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Nalderswood tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s block garages and garages due for demolition, we deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In places like Nalderswood, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Nalderswood by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Nalderswood
Is asbestos common in Nalderswood homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is my garage roof in Nalderswood asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- No removal until we know what it is
- Accredited laboratory results
Take a look at how we quote or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
