Asbestos garage roof removal in Runfold
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Runfold
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Runfold all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. People often contact us about sheet garages and old, cracked sheets, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Runfold, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Runfold
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes. Farnham station is about 1.7 miles west of Runfold, and we cover both.
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.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Sheet garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Near open spaces such as Runfold Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
