Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards

Materials we deal with

What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Questions from Cross Lane
Do older homes in Cross Lane have asbestos?
If your home in Cross Lane was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Cross Lane 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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Typical garage roof jobs in Cross Lane
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Typical jobs in Cross Lane include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Single and double garage roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Carport roofs
Near open spaces such as Briddlesford Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- What isn’t included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
