About our asbestos garage roof removal in Northchapel
Many garages built before 2000, in Northchapel and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From garages due a new roof and double garages, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Northchapel, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Northchapel
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes, we cover Northchapel and the area towards Haslemere station, about 4 miles north-west.
Could my house in Northchapel contain asbestos?
If your home in Northchapel was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
After we’ve finished:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Duty holders and landlords in Northchapel
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
