About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sutton Green
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and roofs to clear before demolition, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In a village like Sutton Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Sutton Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Sutton Green have asbestos?
Any home in Sutton Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.

- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

Why people call us in Sutton Green
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Garages due a new roof
Near open spaces such as Papercourt Marshes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
