Asbestos garage roof removal near Roffey
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Roffey
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and old, cracked sheets.
In a smaller place like Roffey, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Roffey
Do older homes in Roffey have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Roffey can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Roffey typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
