Many domestic garages and outbuildings built before 2000 were roofed using corrugated asbestos cement sheets, a standard low-cost material throughout the 1950s to 1980s, still present on thousands of Surrey properties today.
We visit your property free of charge within the same week, inspect the garage roof, assess the condition of the sheets, and confirm the full scope of removal required.

FAQS
No. Removing asbestos materials without proper training is a criminal offence under current regulations. Even non-licensed projects require qualified professionals to follow strict safety protocols and organize legal disposal. Doing this yourself creates severe health and legal risks.
No. Surrey Environmental Services specialises in the safe removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials, so roof replacement is a separate trade outside our scope of work. We are happy to confirm the removal scope clearly in your written quote so you can arrange replacement roofing with a contractor of your choice.
In most cases, corrugated asbestos cement garage roof removal falls into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW) category under HSE regulations. This means a full HSE asbestos removal licence is not required, but the work must still be carried out by a UKATA-trained operative following approved procedures. We confirm the exact work category at the free survey stage before any quote is issued.
Visual checks cannot confirm asbestos presence reliably. Profiled garage roofing installed prior to 2000 must be treated as hazardous until tested. Our free same-week survey includes a thorough physical inspection and UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis to confirm your material status.
The cost depends on the size of the roof, the number of sheets, and the condition of the material at the time of removal. We provide a fixed written quote within 48 hours of the free survey, covering all labour, licensed disposal, and a consignment note with no hidden charges. Contact us with your garage dimensions for a same-day indication.
An asbestos cement roof that is intact, undisturbed, and not deteriorating carries a lower immediate risk during normal use. We recommend avoiding any activity that could cause impact or vibration to the roof sheets before removal takes place. If sheets are already cracking, lifting, or showing visible deterioration, arrange a survey promptly before the garage is used further.
No. Asbestos cement garage roof sheets are classified as hazardous waste under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 and cannot be taken to a household recycling centre, placed in a skip, or disposed of in general waste. All material must be double-bagged in compliant packaging and transported to an HSE (Health and Safety Executive)-approved licensed disposal facility. We manage the full disposal process on every job.
Most standard domestic asbestos garage roof removal jobs across Surrey are completed within 1 working day. Larger garages or those with multiple outbuildings may require additional time. We confirm the expected duration in your fixed written quote before any work begins so you can plan accordingly.
