How asbestos garage roof removal works in Maresfield
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garage conversions and garages due for demolition.
In a village like Maresfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Typical garage roof jobs in Maresfield
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
If you let a house with a garage near Uckfield station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The scope of the job, in writing
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Covering London and the South East

Maresfield questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Maresfield contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
