Asbestos garage roof removal in Stonegate
Asbestos garage roof removal near Stonegate
Many garages built before 2000, in Stonegate and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In a village like Stonegate, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Stonegate: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Stonegate usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in Stonegate?
Yes, Stonegate is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across East Sussex.
Typical jobs in Stonegate include:
- Garage blocks
- Single and double garage roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
Properties near Bewl Water may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- If the price includes VAT
- The documents you will receive
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stonegate must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Which option is right?
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
