About our asbestos garage roof removal in Henfield
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include sheet garages and double garages, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In Henfield, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area

Step by step
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Henfield 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
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Read how we price jobs or our cost guide.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Typical garage roof jobs in Henfield
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Henfield:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages due for demolition
In Henfield, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Henfield questions
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.
How far is Henfield from London?
We cover Henfield, about 40 miles from central London.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in Henfield?
Yes, Henfield is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is my garage roof in Henfield asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
