How asbestos garage roof removal works in Whatlington
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people generally contact us about block garages and single garages.
In places like Whatlington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Typical garage roof jobs in Whatlington
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across East Sussex still have them.
These come up again and again:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
In Whatlington, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- How fibres will be kept down
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What category of work it is
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
