The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition

Typical garage roof jobs in Heath Common

These are some of the things we deal with in Heath Common:
- Garage blocks

- Old, cracked sheets
Around Chanctonbury Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Duty holders and landlords in Heath Common
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Heath Common
Do you cover Heath Common from London?
We cover Heath Common, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
