Asbestos garage roof removal for Parkgate properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people generally contact us about concrete-panel garages and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like Parkgate, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What affects the price in Parkgate
The cost depends on:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges

Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Parkgate
Do you work near Holmwood station?
Yes, we cover Parkgate and the area towards Holmwood station, about 2.1 miles west.
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.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
