About our asbestos garage roof removal in Reigate
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and roofs to clear before demolition.
In towns like Reigate, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Reigate
My garage in Reigate has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Reigate station?
Yes. Reigate station is close to the centre of Reigate, and we cover the whole area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
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 typically quick once we are set up.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.

The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Reigate is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.

What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
After we’ve finished in Reigate
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
Typical garage roof jobs in Reigate
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Carport roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Double garages
For rented homes with garages close to Reigate station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
