Asbestos garage roof removal near Cowfold
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Cowfold
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and prefab garages with cement walls, involving cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Cowfold, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Questions from Cowfold
How far is Cowfold from London?
We cover Cowfold, about 36 miles from central London.
Could my house in Cowfold contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
