How asbestos garage roof removal works in East Saltdean
Many garages built before 2000, in East Saltdean and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include sheet garages and garages being knocked down, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In places like East Saltdean, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

How it works

Questions from East Saltdean
Do older homes in East Saltdean have asbestos?
Any home in East Saltdean built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover East Saltdean and the area around Southease station?
Yes, we cover East Saltdean and the area towards Southease station, about 3.3 miles north-east.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
