Asbestos garage roof removal in Whyteleafe
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about garage blocks and broken sheets after high winds.
Rural garages near Whyteleafe are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets

What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Whyteleafe: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Whyteleafe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Whyteleafe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
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. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
