Asbestos garage roof removal for South Malling properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From lean-tos and carports and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards.
Homes in places like South Malling often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in South Malling, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:

South Malling: your questions answered
Could my house in South Malling contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
