Southwick: your questions answered
Could my house in Southwick contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Southwick from London?
We cover Southwick, about 46 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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 will advise.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- A rough size or measurement
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Southwick by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let us know if something’s broken

After we have finished in Southwick
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Southwick garages: local notes

For rented homes with garages close to Southwick station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Properties near Shoreham Beach may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
