Need garage roof removal in Cliffe?
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Cliffe
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-to roofs, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters and more.
Homes in places like Cliffe often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Cliffe
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
My garage in Cliffe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
