Asbestos garage roof removal in Storrington
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s garages before a new roof or conversion and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Storrington, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Storrington
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Storrington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Storrington questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Storrington have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Storrington can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you cover Storrington?
Yes. We cover Storrington and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is my garage roof in Storrington asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

In Storrington, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs. Near open spaces such as Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. Storrington is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

Options to consider in Storrington
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- Approximate dimensions
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Storrington
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage conversions
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the B2139, tell us about parking and access.
Comparing quotes
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. We plan garage roof jobs in Storrington for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
