Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in High Cross
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage blocks and concrete-panel garages.
In towns and villages like High Cross, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What else we do in High Cross
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in High Cross by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
