About our asbestos garage roof removal in Soberton Heath
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical jobs include single garages and carport roofs, involving bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In areas like Soberton Heath, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in Soberton Heath
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Soberton Heath must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
After we have finished in Soberton Heath
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Soberton Heath
Do you cover Soberton Heath from London?
Soberton Heath is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Soberton Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Soberton Heath
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Sheet garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Single garages
- Old, cracked sheets
Older houses in Soberton Heath, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Step by step
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. It helps if we can park nearby. In December, it’s dark in Soberton Heath by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
