DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How it works
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan garage roof jobs in Herstmonceux for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Herstmonceux
My garage in Herstmonceux has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Herstmonceux from London?
We cover Herstmonceux, about 46 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is my garage roof in Herstmonceux asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby

What we deal with in Herstmonceux
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Carport roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Roofs to clear before demolition
In Herstmonceux, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
