Asbestos garage roof removal for Cranham
Asbestos garage roof removal in Cranham
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In Cranham, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Common situations in older properties include:

If you’re a landlord with garages near Upminster station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Cranham
Do older homes in Cranham have asbestos?
If your home in Cranham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Cranham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
