About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bodiam
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Common materials are downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and lean-to roofs.
In a village like Bodiam, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

For businesses and landlords in Bodiam
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bodiam, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
FAQs for Bodiam
Do you work near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 3.3 miles south-west of Bodiam, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Bodiam?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
