Asbestos garage roof removal for Sandy Cross
Asbestos garage roof removal near Sandy Cross
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Sandy Cross. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include block garages and single garages, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Homes in towns and villages like Sandy Cross often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

After we have finished in Sandy Cross
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
FAQs for Sandy Cross
Do older homes in Sandy Cross have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Sandy Cross from London?
We cover Sandy Cross, about 40 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Is my garage roof in Sandy Cross asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
