About our asbestos garage roof removal in Burwash Weald
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Burwash Weald tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and single and double garage roofs.
Garages around Burwash Weald may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Common questions in Burwash Weald
Do you work near Stonegate station?
Yes. Stonegate station is about 2.2 miles north of Burwash Weald, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is my garage roof in Burwash Weald asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

How we price garage roof removal
When we quote, we look at:
- Access to the area
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges

- How we’d reach it
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
