Asbestos garage roof removal near Sidlow
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about old, cracked sheets and single garages.
In a village like Sidlow, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Duty holders and landlords in Sidlow
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The size of the job
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Domestic and commercial work
- Covering London and the South East
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Common questions in Sidlow
Do you cover Sidlow from London?
We cover Sidlow, about 21 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in Sidlow?
We do: our area includes Sidlow and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Sidlow
Share the paperwork with your builder.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
