To avoid problems in future:

- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Keymer properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s block garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In Keymer, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Keymer
Are garage roofs in Keymer generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover Keymer and the area towards Hassocks station, about 0.5 miles west.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
