How asbestos garage roof removal works in Butcher's Cross
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about garage conversions and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garages around Butcher's Cross may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Butcher's Cross
How far is Butcher's Cross from London?
We cover Butcher's Cross, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you cover Butcher's Cross and the area around Crowborough station?
Yes. Crowborough station is about 3 miles north-west of Butcher's Cross, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Butcher's Cross must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof

- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
