Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Crockhurst Street
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. From garages before a new roof or conversion and block garages, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Crockhurst Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Why people call us in Crockhurst Street
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

- Garages before a new roof or conversion

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Helpful guides
Crockhurst Street questions
Do you cover Crockhurst Street from London?
We cover Crockhurst Street, about 29 miles from central London.
Could my house in Crockhurst Street contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Crockhurst Street can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
