Asbestos garage roof removal near Oxley's Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garage conversions and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Oxley's Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

For businesses and landlords in Oxley's Green
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Oxley's Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

FAQs for Oxley's Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Oxley's Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Oxley's Green
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Robertsbridge station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
