Asbestos garage roof removal in St Cross
Garage roof removal in St Cross generally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical materials include cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and block garages.
In St Cross, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage blocks
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Old, cracked sheets
- Single garages
In St Cross, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Questions from St Cross
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes. Winchester station is about 1.3 miles north of St Cross, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in St Cross homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in St Cross may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: 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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
