What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we have finished:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

FAQs for Temple Ewell
Are garage roofs in Temple Ewell generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Temple Ewell 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 if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is my garage roof in Temple Ewell asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
