Asbestos garage roof removal for Bramber properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Bramber and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and roofs to clear before demolition.
In a village like Bramber, 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.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bramber
Do you work near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes. Shoreham-By-Sea station is about 4.1 miles south-east of Bramber, and we cover both.
My garage in Bramber has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
