How asbestos garage roof removal works in North Crawley
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include single garages and garage conversions, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near North Crawley are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

North Crawley: your questions answered
Could my house in North Crawley contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like North Crawley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
