Asbestos garage roof removal in Highbrook
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages before a new roof or conversion and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Garages around Highbrook may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes

FAQs for Highbrook
Do you work near Balcombe station?
Yes, we cover Highbrook and the area towards Balcombe station, about 3.4 miles west.
My garage in Highbrook has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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 usually aren’t licensed.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
For businesses and landlords in Highbrook
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
For managing agents and freeholders in Highbrook, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Highbrook by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
