Asbestos garage roof removal in Danehill
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about sheet garages and single garages.
In places like Danehill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Danehill questions
Do you cover small places like Danehill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
