Asbestos garage roof removal near Green Cross

Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and carport roofs, including cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.

In towns and villages like Green Cross, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Looking after things afterwards

We clear up and check for fragments.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Keep the consignment note afterwards
Plan the new roof before removal
Photos of the garage and the way in help
Keep pets and children inside

Don’ts

Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Green Cross

Do you cover Green Cross and the area around Haslemere station?

Yes, we cover Green Cross and the area towards Haslemere station, about 3.7 miles south-east.

Are garage roofs in Green Cross typically asbestos?

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

What does licensed work mean?

Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.

What if the weather’s bad?

That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.

Options to consider in Green Cross

Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
