Asbestos garage roof removal for Onslow Village properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and double garages.
In places like Onslow Village, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We only recommend work that is needed.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Onslow Village questions
Do you cover Onslow Village from London?
Onslow Village is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Guildford station?
Yes. Guildford station is about 1 mile east of Onslow Village, and we cover both.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
