Asbestos garage roof removal for Sandhurst Cross properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about single garages and garage conversions.
In a village like Sandhurst Cross, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What we deal with in Sandhurst Cross
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Double garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages in a row or block
- Concrete-panel garages
Across Sandhurst Cross, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Common questions in Sandhurst Cross
My garage in Sandhurst Cross has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Sandhurst Cross from London?
Sandhurst Cross is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
