Asbestos garage roof removal near Woodham
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Woodham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and garages due a new roof, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In Woodham, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Woodham is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After we’ve finished in Woodham
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Typical garage roof jobs in Woodham
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.

- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garage blocks
- Old, cracked sheets

For rented homes with garages close to West Byfleet station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Woodham questions
Are garage roofs in Woodham usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Woodham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
