Asbestos help in Crawley
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Crawley
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and garages due a new roof, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
Crawley has garages of every age, and plenty of older ones have cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work

- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Before we arrive

Crawley questions
How far is Crawley from London?
Crawley is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is close to the centre of Crawley, and we cover the whole area.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in Crawley?
We do: our area includes Crawley and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
