Asbestos garage roof removal for Tandridge
Common questions in Tandridge
Are garage roofs in Tandridge normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Tandridge contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my garage roof in Tandridge asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Tandridge
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and garages being knocked down, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Garages around Tandridge may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What we deal with in Tandridge
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Surrey still have them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheet garages
- Block garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Carport roofs
Properties near Bay Pond may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
