Asbestos garage roof removal in Totford
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Totford
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Totford. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s garage blocks and pieces of broken roof, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Rural garages near Totford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How it works
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Totford by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Don’ts

Doing it yourself?
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.
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.
FAQs for Totford
How far is Totford from London?
Totford is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Totford and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover Totford and the area towards Micheldever station, about 4.5 miles north-west.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
