Asbestos garage roof removal near Watchmoor

Many garages built before 2000, in Watchmoor and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and garage blocks.

In areas like Watchmoor, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Helpful guides

Duty holders and landlords in Watchmoor

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Looking after things afterwards

Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.

Keeping things safe:

Plan the new roof before removal
Let neighbours know beforehand
Keep pets and children inside

Don’ts

Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Never cut or break the sheets.

Where asbestos turns up

Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.

These come up again and again:

Single garages
Roofs to clear before demolition
Sheet garages
Garage conversions

Near open spaces such as Wildmoor Heath, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

FAQs for Watchmoor

My garage in Watchmoor has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

How far is Watchmoor from London?

Watchmoor is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Can the roof be overclad?

It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

How can I get a price?

Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Do you work in Watchmoor?

Yes. We cover Watchmoor and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Choosing the right option

DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
