Asbestos garage roof removal for North Heath
How asbestos garage roof removal works in North Heath
Many garages built before 2000, in North Heath and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around North Heath may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we deal with in North Heath
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Block garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage conversions
- Garages due for demolition
Around The Mens, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What is not included
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we are done:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Questions from North Heath
My garage in North Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
