About our asbestos garage roof removal in Abingworth
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Abingworth tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people usually contact us about broken sheets after high winds and garages in a row or block.
Rural garages near Abingworth are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Abingworth
Do you come out to small villages like Abingworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Abingworth and the area towards Pulborough station, about 3.9 miles west.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

The scope of garage roof removal
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
