Asbestos garage roof removal for Ashurst Wood properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and concrete-panel garages, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Ashurst Wood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Ashurst Wood, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common questions in Ashurst Wood
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Ashurst Wood and the area around East Grinstead station?
Yes. East Grinstead station is about 2.1 miles north-west of Ashurst Wood, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
