Asbestos garage roof removal for Broughton Crossing properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and single and double garage roofs, involving downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Broughton Crossing, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Broughton Crossing
Do you work near Aylesbury station?
Yes, we cover Broughton Crossing and the area towards Aylesbury station, about 1.5 miles south-west.
Do you cover Broughton Crossing from London?
Broughton Crossing is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Duty holders and landlords in Broughton Crossing
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know where we can park

- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts

We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Broughton Crossing by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
