How asbestos garage roof removal works in Thursley
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and sheet garages, including bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Thursley are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Thursley: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Thursley from London?
We cover Thursley, about 36 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
