Asbestos garage roof removal across TN36
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garages being knocked down and single garages.
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.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
What you’ll pay
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Winchelsea: Near open spaces such as Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. If you let a house with a garage near Winchelsea station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. We plan garage roof jobs in Winchelsea for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
Typical garage roof jobs in TN36
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Carport roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Double garages
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options.

A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in TN36, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
TN36: your questions answered
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
