Asbestos garage roof removal near Old Heathfield
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and garage conversions, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In a village like Old Heathfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Old Heathfield: your questions answered
Do older homes in Old Heathfield have asbestos?
Any home in Old Heathfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Old Heathfield from London?
Old Heathfield is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in Old Heathfield?

How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
