Asbestos garage roof removal for South Park
Common questions in South Park
Do you cover South Park from London?
South Park is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is my garage roof in South Park asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in South Park
If you’re not sure your garage roof in South Park is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and broken sheets after high winds.
In towns and villages like South Park, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Surrey still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
Across South Park, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What is not included

- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in South Park, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
