Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Double garages
Older houses in Birchgrove, near Chelwood Gate Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How fibres will be kept down
- What category of work it is
- The scope of the job, in writing
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets

Step by step
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Birchgrove is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Birchgrove
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Birchgrove from London?
Birchgrove is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What affects the price in Birchgrove
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
