Asbestos garage roof removal near Hellingly
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about garages due for demolition and single garages.
In Hellingly, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Single garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
If you’re a landlord with garages near Polegate station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, 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.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
How we work in Hellingly
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Across London and the South East

Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
FAQs for Hellingly
My garage in Hellingly has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Hellingly and the area around Polegate station?
Yes, we cover Hellingly and the area towards Polegate station, about 4.3 miles south.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Is my garage roof in Hellingly asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
