In a village like Kitwood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

How we price garage roof removal
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- Waste quantity and disposal
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The access route
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Kitwood by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move things out of the way carefully

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Typical garage roof jobs in Kitwood

FAQs for Kitwood
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Kitwood typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
