Asbestos garage roof removal in Crosswater
Asbestos garage roof removal in Crosswater
Garage roof removal in Crosswater usually includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and lean-to roofs.
In a village like Crosswater, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
After we have finished in Crosswater
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

FAQs for Crosswater
Do older homes in Crosswater have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Crosswater can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Crosswater usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in Crosswater?
Yes, we do: our area includes Crosswater and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Duty holders and landlords in Crosswater
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
