About our asbestos garage roof removal in Marehill
Many garages built before 2000, in Marehill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and lean-tos and carports, including downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a village like Marehill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Duty holders and landlords in Marehill
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Questions from Marehill
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 1.6 miles west of Marehill, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Keep weight off the roof.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
