Asbestos help in Stoughton
Asbestos garage roof removal for Stoughton properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
In a smaller place like Stoughton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Stoughton
Do you cover Stoughton and the area around Guildford station?
Yes. Guildford station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Stoughton, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Stoughton typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if my house is newer?
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Going forward:
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
