Asbestos garage roof removal near Row Town
Asbestos garage roof removal near Row Town
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and single and double garage roofs, including downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Row Town, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Row Town is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

What we deal with in Row Town
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.

- Concrete-panel garages
Across Row Town, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Questions from Row Town
My garage in Row Town has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Addlestone station?
Yes. Addlestone station is about 1.2 miles north-east of Row Town, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Row Town asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
