Need garage roof removal in Sheerwater?
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sheerwater
Many garages built before 2000, in Sheerwater and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, including bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters.
In a village like Sheerwater, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Sheerwater
Do you work near West Byfleet station?
Yes. West Byfleet station is about 1.1 miles north-east of Sheerwater, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Sheerwater have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sheerwater can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What we deal with in Sheerwater
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Double garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages due a new roof
In Sheerwater, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Any exclusions
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
How we price garage roof removal

- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
