After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

What we deal with in Lower Horsebridge
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across East Sussex still have them.
These are some of the things we deal with in Lower Horsebridge:
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages due a new roof
Across Lower Horsebridge, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What is not included
- If the price includes VAT
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Lower Horsebridge
Could my house in Lower Horsebridge contain asbestos?
If your home in Lower Horsebridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you remove the whole garage?
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
