About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bishopstone
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s carport roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In places like Bishopstone, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Bishopstone: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Bishopstone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
