Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Reports and results you can share
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

FAQs for West Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Brighton station?
Yes, we cover West Hill, including the streets around Brighton station.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Typical jobs in West Hill include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Lean-to roofs
Garages on busy roads like the A2010 need loading planned in advance.
