Asbestos garage roof removal in Battle
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and garage blocks, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In Battle, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Options to consider in Battle
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work
Duty holders and landlords in Battle
If your business premises in Battle were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Battle: your questions answered
Do you work on properties 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.
How far is Battle from London?
Battle is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
