How far is Stone Cross from London?
We cover Stone Cross, about 51 miles from central London.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Stone Cross
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and lean-tos and carports, involving downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Stone Cross, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Stone Cross
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages being knocked down
- Concrete-panel garages
Properties near Orlestone Forest may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.

A few practical points:
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
