How asbestos garage roof removal works in Alfold Crossways
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 materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are single garages and garages in a row or block.
In areas like Alfold Crossways, garages are often one of several outbuildings with 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.

For businesses and landlords in Alfold Crossways
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Which option is right?
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. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Common questions in Alfold Crossways
My garage in Alfold Crossways has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Alfold Crossways from London?
We cover Alfold Crossways, about 33 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
After we’ve finished in Alfold Crossways
We clear up and check for fragments.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
