Asbestos garage roof removal near Sandhurst
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Sandhurst
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Sandhurst. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about lean-tos and carports and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Sandhurst, and the old cement roof is usually the first thing to go. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
FAQs for Sandhurst
Do you work near Sandhurst station?
Yes, we cover Sandhurst and the area towards Sandhurst station, about 0.8 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Sandhurst homes?
Any home in Sandhurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is my garage roof in Sandhurst asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
For businesses and landlords in Sandhurst
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Sandhurst, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Carport roofs
- Double garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages being knocked down
If you let a house with a garage near Sandhurst station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
