Asbestos garage roof removal near West Clandon
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition.
Rural garages near West Clandon are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

West Clandon questions
My garage in West Clandon has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like West Clandon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
