Asbestos garage roof removal for Capel Cross properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garages in a row or block and garages being knocked down, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Capel Cross, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Capel Cross, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Do you cover Capel Cross from London?
Capel Cross is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Capel Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
