How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Dean
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around West Dean. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garages due for demolition, including ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Rural garages near West Dean are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for West Dean
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in West Dean contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How can I get a price?
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.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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 West Dean?
Yes, we do: our area includes West Dean and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
What we deal with in West Dean
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage blocks
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you’re a landlord with garages near Fishbourne station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in West Dean by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
