Helpful guides
Asbestos garage roof removal in Skippers Hill
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Skippers Hill. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garage conversions and single and double garage roofs.
Garages around Skippers Hill may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in Skippers Hill
Do you cover Skippers Hill and the area around Crowborough station?
Yes, we cover Skippers Hill and the area towards Crowborough station, about 3.1 miles north-west.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
What affects the price in Skippers Hill
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Skippers Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
