FAQs for Tilford Reeds
Do you cover Tilford Reeds from London?
Tilford Reeds is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Tilford Reeds
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and concrete-panel garages, including bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes.
Rural garages near Tilford Reeds are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes

Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Step by step
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan garage roof jobs in Tilford Reeds for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Domestic and commercial work
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
