Asbestos garage roof removal near Lewes
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Lewes
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include double garages and garage conversions, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In a town like Lewes, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, and many are now brittle. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Lewes
Do you cover Lewes from London?
We cover Lewes, about 43 miles from central London.
Do you work near Lewes station?
Yes. Lewes station is about 0.6 miles south-east of Lewes, and we cover both.
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.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is my garage roof in Lewes asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
