How we work
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Friston by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Asbestos garage roof removal near Friston
Many garages built before 2000, in Friston 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. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and roofs to clear before demolition, including cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Friston, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Friston
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Friston from London?
We cover Friston, about 53 miles from central London.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
After we’ve finished in Friston
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is
