About our asbestos garage roof removal in Southwick
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Southwick may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Southwick
How far is Southwick from London?
Southwick is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Southwick?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Southwick must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Why people call us in Southwick
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages due for demolition
- Double garages
Properties near Portsdown Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
