Asbestos garage roof removal in Cuxton
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we are done:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Cuxton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

What we deal with in Cuxton
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Near open spaces such as Ranscombe Farm, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you’ll receive
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Questions from Cuxton
Do you cover Cuxton and the area around Cuxton station?
Yes. Cuxton station is close to the centre of Cuxton, and we cover the whole area.
How far is Cuxton from London?
We cover Cuxton, about 25 miles from central London.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
