After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Carport roofs
- Block garages
- Concrete-panel garages
If you’re a landlord with garages near Princes Risborough station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Crowell: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Crowell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Crowell have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Crowell can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is my garage roof in Crowell asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
