Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Common questions in Oxted
Do you work near Hurst Green station?
Yes. Hurst Green station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Oxted, and we cover both.
My garage in Oxted has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
