High Cross questions
How far is High Cross from London?
High Cross is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in High Cross homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Places near High Cross
What else we do in High Cross
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is
- Covering London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

For businesses and landlords in High Cross
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Garage roof removal in High Cross is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
