Asbestos garage roof removal for Felbridge
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Felbridge
Many garages built before 2000, in Felbridge and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s roofs to clear before demolition and old, cracked sheets, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
Rural garages near Felbridge are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Felbridge
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How we work
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Felbridge by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Felbridge questions
Do older homes in Felbridge have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Felbridge from London?
Felbridge is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
