Woldingham: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Woldingham normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Woldingham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Clear advice on your options
- Records for your files
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
Read how we quote or the cost guide.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
If you let a house with a garage near Woldingham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.

- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
