Asbestos garage roof removal across RH13
Many garages built before 2000, in RH13 and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets.
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- 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
Cost
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

What affects the price in RH13
Every quote reflects:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
- The category of work
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work
What we deal with in RH13
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Single garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Carport roofs
FAQs for RH13
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work in RH13?
Yes. We cover RH13 and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
