About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ferring
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. From pieces of broken roof and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In areas like Ferring, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Ferring
How far is Ferring from London?
Ferring is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Ferring has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
