Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Typical garage roof jobs in Five Ash Down

Typical jobs in Five Ash Down include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion

Around Brickfield Meadow, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Options to consider in Five Ash Down
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

FAQs for Five Ash Down
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Are garage roofs in Five Ash Down typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Yes, Five Ash Down is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
