How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wotton
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and garages due for demolition, including downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a village like Wotton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Why people call us in Wotton
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due for demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Sheet garages
- Garage conversions
If you let a house with a garage near Gomshall station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Wotton
Do you cover Wotton from London?
Wotton is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Gomshall station?
Yes, we cover Wotton and the area towards Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles west.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
After we have finished in Wotton
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wotton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
