Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Pyrford
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From block garages and garage conversions, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
In towns and villages like Pyrford, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Pyrford by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Pyrford: your questions answered
How far is Pyrford from London?
Pyrford is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Pyrford usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Pyrford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
