About our asbestos garage roof removal in East Lavington
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and block garages, including downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a village like East Lavington, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in East Lavington is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the way to the work area

Helpful guides
East Lavington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like East Lavington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover East Lavington from London?
East Lavington is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in East Lavington
- Gutters and downpipes

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
