Asbestos garage roof removal near Icklesham
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about pieces of broken roof and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Icklesham 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.

Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Records for your files

What we deal with in Icklesham
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
- Garages due for demolition
If you’re a landlord with garages near Winchelsea station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Before booking anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether the job needs notifying
- How fibres will be kept down
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Icklesham by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Icklesham
Do you cover small places like Icklesham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Winchelsea station?
Yes. Winchelsea station is about 2 miles north-east of Icklesham, and we cover both.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
