Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and pieces of broken roof, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In areas like Grove, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Grove: your questions answered
Do you work near Sturry station?
Yes. Sturry station is about 3.8 miles west of Grove, and we cover both.
My garage in Grove has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan garage roof jobs in Grove for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Grove, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
