About our asbestos garage roof removal in Rock
If you are not sure your garage roof in Rock is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Rural garages near Rock are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Rock
Are garage roofs in Rock generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Rock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. 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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across West Sussex.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Double garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Properties near Chanctonbury Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
