Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Wood's Corner for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What we deal with in Wood's Corner
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across East Sussex.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-to roofs
- Single garages
If you’re a landlord with garages near Stonegate station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What is not included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Your questions about garage roof removal in Wood's Corner
My garage in Wood's Corner has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Wood's Corner contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wood's Corner can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
When can you start?
