How asbestos garage roof removal works in Itchingfield
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about block garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a village like Itchingfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- An idea of size

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
You’ll get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Questions from Itchingfield
Are garage roofs in Itchingfield generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Itchingfield homes?
Any home in Itchingfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do you work in Itchingfield?
Yes, we do: our area includes Itchingfield and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
