Asbestos garage roof removal in Worth Abbey
Asbestos garage roof removal for Worth Abbey properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and block garages, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Worth Abbey, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

- Broken sheets after high winds

What else we do in Worth Abbey
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Worth Abbey were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Late-December sunset in Worth Abbey is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Yes. Three Bridges station is about 2.6 miles north-west of Worth Abbey, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?

Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
