Asbestos garage roof removal for Horam properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Horam. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are block garages and garage conversions.
Rural garages near Horam are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Horam questions
Could my house in Horam contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Horam can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Horam 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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Horam by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
