Asbestos garage roof removal near Glyndebourne
Asbestos garage roof removal near Glyndebourne
Many garages built before 2000, in Glyndebourne and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are double garages and old, cracked sheets.
In places like Glyndebourne, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Why people call us in Glyndebourne

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages in a row or block
- Sheet garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Single garages
Near open spaces such as Cliffe Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Glyndebourne, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
