What it might be made of
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Common questions in Old Woking
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Old Woking contain asbestos?
If your home in Old Woking was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
