About our asbestos garage roof removal in West Byfleet
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 cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage conversions, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Homes in areas like West Byfleet often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

West Byfleet questions
Do you cover West Byfleet and the area around West Byfleet station?
Yes. West Byfleet station is close to the centre of West Byfleet, and we cover the whole area.
Are garage roofs in West Byfleet normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover West Byfleet?
Yes. We cover West Byfleet and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Across West Byfleet, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
Before you book anyone
