Crawley questions
Is asbestos common in Crawley homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Crawley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Crawley
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and sheet garages, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Crawley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Crawley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
