How asbestos garage roof removal works in Crowhurst
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and double garages.
Garages around Crowhurst may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Crowhurst
Could my house in Crowhurst contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Crowhurst from London?
Crowhurst is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Crowhurst
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Double garages
- Garages due a new roof
For rented homes with garages close to Godstone station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
