Areas we cover
Asbestos garage roof removal across BN21
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and sheet garages, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- You get the waste paperwork

Garage roofs across BN21
Garages across BN21, from Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton to 0 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings. Around 7 places in BN21 are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Old Town: Properties near Combe Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage. Older houses in Old Town, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. In December, it’s dark in Old Town by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
For businesses and landlords in BN21
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in BN21 must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Questions from BN21
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
