How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ninfield

Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and garage conversions, we cover downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.
In areas like Ninfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Ninfield: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Ninfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How we work
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Ninfield is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
