About our asbestos garage roof removal in St Helen's
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include carport roofs and concrete-panel garages, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like St Helen's, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in St Helen's by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know if something’s broken

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
What affects the price in St Helen's
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
Every job is quoted in writing. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Questions from St Helen's
Do older homes in St Helen's have asbestos?
If your home in St Helen's was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in St Helen's usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover St Helen's?
We do: St Helen's is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
