Asbestos garage roof removal for Clayton properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Clayton and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s sheet garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In areas like Clayton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages being knocked down
Near open spaces such as Wolstonbury Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Common questions in Clayton
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover Clayton and the area towards Hassocks station, about 1 mile north.
Do you cover Clayton?
Yes. We cover Clayton and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
