What it might be made of

Roof felt

Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.

Corrugated sheets

The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

More about this service

How we price garage roof removal

Every quote reflects:

  • How many samples are needed
  • Disposal costs
  • The size of the job
  • The category of work

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Sending photos

A few photos can save a site visit:

  • The parking area
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • Approximate dimensions
  • The access route

Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Should you do it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

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.

  • Garages due for demolition
  • Single garages
  • Pieces of broken roof
  • Garages before a new roof or conversion

For rented homes with garages close to Bexhill station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Questions from Bexhill-on-Sea

Are garage roofs in Bexhill-on-Sea usually asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

Do you cover Bexhill-on-Sea and the area around Bexhill station?

Yes. Bexhill station is about 0.6 miles south-east of Bexhill-on-Sea, and we cover both.

Do you work in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Yes, we do: Bexhill-on-Sea is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?

Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

What paperwork will I get?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

How do I get a quote?

Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

How it works

In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Bexhill-on-Sea by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
