Asbestos garage roof removal for Rowledge properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and carport roofs.
Garages around Rowledge may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Typical garage roof jobs in Rowledge
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
If you let a house with a garage near Bentley (Hampshire) station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before booking anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. Late-December sunset in Rowledge is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in Rowledge
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Rowledge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you cover Rowledge?
Yes. We cover Rowledge and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
