Can I do it myself?

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Old Shoreham
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and concrete-panel garages, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Old Shoreham may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Old Shoreham
Do you cover small places like Old Shoreham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Old Shoreham from London?
We cover Old Shoreham, about 47 miles from central London.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
Every job is quoted in writing. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
How it works
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Old Shoreham by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
