About our asbestos garage roof removal in Barcombe
Many garages built before 2000, in Barcombe and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about double garages and concrete-panel garages.
Rural garages near Barcombe are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Barcombe
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Barcombe have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you work in Barcombe?
Yes, we do: Barcombe is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Barcombe by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
