About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bilsham
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From block garages and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
In a village like Bilsham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Bilsham questions
How far is Bilsham from London?
We cover Bilsham, about 53 miles from central London.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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 should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Prices and what affects them

- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A picture of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- The access route
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
