Tilford questions
Do you come out to small villages like Tilford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you work in Tilford?
Yes. We cover Tilford and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
