Asbestos garage roof removal in Strettington
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Strettington
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Strettington tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From concrete-panel garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Garages around Strettington may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Strettington
Is asbestos common in Strettington homes?
If your home in Strettington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Strettington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is my garage roof in Strettington asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
Do you cover Strettington?
Yes. We cover Strettington and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces

Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Strettington by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
