Asbestos garage roof removal for Etchingham properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages, involving bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Etchingham may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Etchingham by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Etchingham
Do you cover Etchingham and the area around Etchingham station?
Yes. Etchingham station is close to the centre of Etchingham, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Etchingham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
