How asbestos garage roof removal works in Titsey
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and garage blocks, we cover corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Titsey, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Titsey
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Titsey, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Titsey:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Sheet garages
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you are a landlord with garages near Oxted station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. We plan garage roof jobs in Titsey for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access

- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down

Garage roofs in Titsey
Titsey is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Titsey is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Titsey is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we work. We work right across the region, from Titsey to Crawley (15 miles away).
In Titsey, many garages and sheds were added decades ago. Near open spaces such as Botley Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs.
We carry out garage roof jobs all over RH8. Close by, we cover Tatsfield (1 mile north), Limpsfield (1 mile south-west), Moorhouse Bank (2 miles south-east), South Street (2 miles north-east) and The Chart (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Epsom (13 miles west), Horley (11 miles south-west), Redhill (9 miles west), Ewell (13 miles north-west), Reigate (10 miles west) and Caterham (5 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Tandridge Priory (1.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include West Kent Golf Course nature reserve and Botley Hill.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

Your questions about garage roof removal in Titsey
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Titsey from London?
Titsey is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
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.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
