Asbestos garage roof removal in Crouch
Asbestos garage roof removal in Crouch
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From prefab garages with cement walls and garages in a row or block, we deal with downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Crouch, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical garage roof jobs in Crouch
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you let a house with a garage near Selling station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Crouch
We clear up and check for fragments.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Crouch: your questions answered
Do you cover Crouch and the area around Selling station?
Yes. Selling station is about 0.5 miles south of Crouch, and we cover both.
How far is Crouch from London?
Crouch is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
