Asbestos garage roof removal in Ranmore Common
If you are not sure your garage roof in Ranmore Common is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garages due a new roof.
In a village like Ranmore Common, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

What else we do in Ranmore Common
Ranmore Common: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Ranmore Common contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ranmore Common may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
