How asbestos garage roof removal works in East Dean
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and sheet garages, including corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Garages around East Dean may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in East Dean
Is asbestos common in East Dean homes?
Any home in East Dean built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like East Dean?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you cover East Dean?
Yes. We cover East Dean and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is my garage roof in East Dean asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. Late-December sunset in East Dean is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
