About our asbestos garage roof removal in Arundel
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garage blocks and carport roofs.
In Arundel, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Arundel
Do older homes in Arundel have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Arundel from London?
We cover Arundel, about 49 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is my garage roof in Arundel 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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Fixings

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Typical garage roof jobs in Arundel
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
These come up again and again:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single and double garage roofs
- Sheet garages
Near open spaces such as WWT Arundel, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
