Our asbestos garage roof removal in Brighton and Hove

Many garages built before 2000, in Brighton and Hove and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about old, cracked sheets and garages due a new roof.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets.

Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

What you will pay

Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Why choose us

Waste paperwork for every removal
Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
Identify first, remove only when needed

Garage roofs across Brighton and Hove

Across Brighton and Hove, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, from the towns to the villages. Around 30 places in Brighton and Hove are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Brighton: Near open spaces such as Whitehawk Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. Garages on busy roads like the A23 and A259 need loading planned in advance. In December, it’s dark in Brighton by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Should you do it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Choosing the right option

DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too.

Questions to ask before you book

Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
How fibres will be kept down
That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Where asbestos turns up

Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.

These are some of the things we deal with in Brighton and Hove:

Single and double garage roofs
Pieces of broken roof
Garages due a new roof
Garage blocks

After we’ve finished in Brighton and Hove

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.

Tell us about parking and access
Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Keep children and pets indoors during the work

Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Brighton and Hove questions

Can you help with a shop or office?

We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

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.

Can the roof be overclad?

Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
