Asbestos garage roof removal for Send 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, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and single garages.
In areas like Send, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Send questions
Is asbestos common in Send homes?
Any home in Send built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Clandon station?
Yes, we cover Send and the area towards Clandon station, about 2.2 miles south-east.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Asbestos garage roofs around Send
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Send is within our Surrey area, whatever the size of the job. We work in 395 places across Surrey.
Near open spaces such as Papercourt Marshes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. For rented homes with garages close to Clandon station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
Wherever your property is in GU23, we can help with garage roof removal. That could mean a property on Sandy Lane, Farm Lane and Sandfields, wherever it is in Send.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
