Asbestos garage roof removal in Crouch
Asbestos garage roof removal in Crouch
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include sheet garages and garages in a row or block, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Garages around Crouch may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How fibres will be kept down
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

- Domestic and commercial work

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Crouch: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Crouch typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Crouch have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
