After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wishanger Common
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about broken sheets after high winds and lean-to roofs.
Rural garages near Wishanger Common are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Wishanger Common: your questions answered
Do you cover Wishanger Common from London?
Wishanger Common is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is my garage roof in Wishanger Common asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Block garages
- Sheet garages
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
In Wishanger Common, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
