Asbestos garage roof removal for St Leonards properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and garage blocks, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
Many people in towns like St Leonards convert their garages, and the old cement roof is normally the first thing to go. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
St Leonards: your questions answered
Do you work near St Leonards Warrior Square station?
Yes, we cover St Leonards, including the streets around St Leonards Warrior Square station.
Do you cover St Leonards from London?
We cover St Leonards, about 53 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is my garage roof in St Leonards asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you’re a landlord with garages near St Leonards Warrior Square station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Duty holders and landlords in St Leonards
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
