Asbestos garage roof removal for Penny Pot properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and storm-damaged sheets.
Garages around Penny Pot may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Penny Pot
Do you work near Brookwood station?
Yes, we cover Penny Pot and the area towards Brookwood station, about 2.7 miles south.
How far is Penny Pot from London?
Penny Pot is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Penny Pot must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
