Your options compared
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Covering London and the South East
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Horsemere Green by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Find any old asbestos reports

Helpful guides
FAQs for Horsemere Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Horsemere Green and the area around Ford station?
Yes, we cover Horsemere Green and the area towards Ford station, about 1.3 miles north.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Horsemere Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
