Asbestos garage roof removal near Burwash
If you are not sure your garage roof in Burwash is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. From garages due a new roof and sheet garages, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In a village like Burwash, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Common questions in Burwash
Do you cover Burwash from London?
We cover Burwash, about 40 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Burwash?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.

Why people call us in Burwash
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Single garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages in a row or block
Older houses in Burwash, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
How we work in Burwash

What else we do in Burwash
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Duty holders and landlords in Burwash
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Burwash is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
