Asbestos garage roof removal in Westcott
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From prefab garages with cement walls and roofs to clear before demolition, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In areas like Westcott, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Westcott
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Westcott homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Westcott?
Yes, we do: Westcott is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
Typical garage roof jobs in Westcott
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garage blocks
- Sheet garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you let a house with a garage near Dorking West station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Before you book anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you will receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Options to consider in Westcott
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Towns and villages near Westcott
For businesses and landlords in Westcott
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Westcott, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
