How asbestos garage roof removal works in Camber
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Camber all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and broken sheets after high winds, including cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Camber are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- The access route
- Labels, if any
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. It helps if we can park nearby. In December, it’s dark in Camber by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Camber: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Camber?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Camber have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
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 you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
