Asbestos garage roof removal near Tyler's Green
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition.
In a village like Tyler's Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common questions in Tyler's Green
Could my house in Tyler's Green contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Tyler's Green and the area around Caterham station?
Yes, we cover Tyler's Green and the area towards Caterham station, about 1.9 miles north.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What we deal with in Tyler's Green
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Carport roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Caterham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

What else we do in Tyler's Green
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
