Asbestos garage roof removal in Netherfield
Asbestos garage roof removal in Netherfield
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From carport roofs and concrete-panel garages, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Netherfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Netherfield is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.

Duty holders and landlords in Netherfield
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
After we’ve finished in Netherfield
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
FAQs for Netherfield
Do older homes in Netherfield have asbestos?
Any home in Netherfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- An idea of size
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
