Asbestos garage roof removal in Brighton and Hove
After we’ve finished in Brighton and Hove
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Brighton and Hove properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Brighton and Hove is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and single garages, including downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Brighton and Hove, and the old cement roof is usually the first thing to go. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

For businesses and landlords in Brighton and Hove
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Brighton and Hove, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

In older properties, we often see:
