Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Wivelsfield Green
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Wivelsfield Green include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages due for demolition
Near open spaces such as Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wivelsfield Green
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
Garages around Wivelsfield Green may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Wivelsfield Green questions
Do older homes in Wivelsfield Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wivelsfield Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Wivelsfield Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Garage roof removal in Wivelsfield Green is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell us about parking and access
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
