About our asbestos garage roof removal in Little Horsted
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. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and double garages.
Rural garages near Little Horsted are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Questions from Little Horsted
Is asbestos common in Little Horsted homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Little Horsted can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Uckfield station?
Yes, we cover Little Horsted and the area towards Uckfield station, about 1.3 miles north.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is my garage roof in Little Horsted asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
