Need garage roof removal in Heckfield?
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Heckfield
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Heckfield all have roofs like these. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. From brittle, leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
