Asbestos garage roof removal for Lindfield properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and garage conversions, involving downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like Lindfield, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Across Lindfield, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Lindfield, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Lindfield: your questions answered
How far is Lindfield from London?
We cover Lindfield, about 34 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Lindfield normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
