About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kilnwood Vale
Many garages built before 2000, in Kilnwood Vale and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garage conversions and sheet garages, involving cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Kilnwood Vale are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Duty holders and landlords in Kilnwood Vale
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Kilnwood Vale were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Typical garage roof jobs in Kilnwood Vale
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single and double garage roofs
Near open spaces such as Tilgate Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope of the job, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Kilnwood Vale
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Kilnwood Vale?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you cover Kilnwood Vale?
Yes, we do: our area includes Kilnwood Vale and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
