Asbestos garage roof removal for Sutton Abinger
Asbestos garage roof removal near Sutton Abinger
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and old, cracked sheets.
In places like Sutton Abinger, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Sutton Abinger: your questions answered
Do you work on properties 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 you work near Gomshall station?
Yes, we cover Sutton Abinger and the area towards Gomshall station, about 1.4 miles north-west.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
