Our asbestos garage roof removal in BN7
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and concrete-panel garages, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site.
- 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
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Cost

Garages we deal with in BN7
Across BN7, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, from the towns to the villages. Parts of BN7 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. Around 4 places in BN7 are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Lewes: Near open spaces such as Malling Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. Older houses in Lewes, near Church of St John sub Castro or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000. We plan garage roof jobs in Lewes for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A photo of the whole area
- Damaged areas
You’ll get a written quote. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof.

FAQs for BN7
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
