Asbestos garage roof removal for Balcombe properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From garage conversions and double garages, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In a village like Balcombe, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

How it works
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Balcombe is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

Questions from Balcombe
Do you cover Balcombe from London?
We cover Balcombe, about 31 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you cover Balcombe?
Yes, Balcombe is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Limits to be aware of

- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Balcombe
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Balcombe
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage conversions
Across Balcombe, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
What to look for in a quote

- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What isn’t included
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
Every job is quoted in writing. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
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.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
- 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
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
