Asbestos garage roof removal in RH2: what to expect
Many garages built before 2000, in RH2 and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about sheet garages and carport roofs.
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Prices in RH2

Garage roof removal in RH2
Garages across RH2, from Redhill, Reigate and Earlswood to 8 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
Reigate: Across Reigate, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. For garages on or near the A25 and A217, let us know where we can load. Late-December sunset in Reigate is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
What we deal with in RH2
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Surrey still have them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-to roofs
Options to consider in RH2
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof.

Your questions about garage roof removal in RH2
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
