Asbestos garage roof removal near Roedean
Asbestos garage roof removal near Roedean
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and lean-to roofs.
In a village like Roedean, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Roedean, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Roedean by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- 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
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Roedean garages: local notes
Roedean is about 2 miles east of Carlton Hill, in Brighton and Hove. Properties in Roedean range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 30 places across Brighton and Hove.
Across Roedean, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. Around Whitehawk Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. The sea is within about 2 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.
Anywhere in BN2, garage roof removal is available. Streets in the area include Peel Road, Cliff Road and Henley Road, and garage roof removal is available on all of them. Neighbouring places we cover include Ovingdean (1 mile east), Rottingdean (1 mile east), Saltdean (3 miles east), East Saltdean (3 miles east) and Falmer (3 miles north). Further out, we also cover Brighton and Hove (4 miles west), Hove (4 miles west), Brunswick (3 miles west), Seven Dials (3 miles north-west), Hollingdean (3 miles north-west) and Prestonville (3 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include French Convalescent Home (0.5 miles west) and Churchill Square (2.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Local schools include St Mary's Hall (0.8 miles west) and Longhill High School (1.2 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Master Mariner pub (within half a mile south-west)
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Roedean: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Roedean homes?
Any home in Roedean built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Brighton station?
Yes, we cover Roedean and the area towards Brighton station, about 2.2 miles north-west.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
