Asbestos garage roof removal in Steyning
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and lean-to roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes.
In Steyning, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- An idea of size
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What we deal with in Steyning
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Carport roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage blocks
Around Chanctonbury Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions

Questions from Steyning
Could my house in Steyning contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Lancing station?
Yes. Lancing station is about 4.1 miles south of Steyning, and we cover both.
Do you cover Steyning?
We do: our area includes Steyning and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
