About our asbestos garage roof removal in Oakhanger
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical materials include cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about block garages and broken sheets after high winds.
Rural garages near Oakhanger are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Oakhanger, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Oakhanger for daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Describe the garage
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions

Common questions in Oakhanger
Do you come out to small villages like Oakhanger?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is my garage roof in Oakhanger asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
