Asbestos garage roof removal in Burgh Hill
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Burgh Hill tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about garages due for demolition and broken sheets after high winds.
In a village like Burgh Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Burgh Hill questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Burgh Hill typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you cover Burgh Hill?
We do: Burgh Hill is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Burgh Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
