Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Ovingdean, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ovingdean
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Ovingdean typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in Ovingdean is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What affects the price in Ovingdean
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- The category of work
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
You’ll get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
