After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.

Alciston is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we work. Our area stretches from Alciston to Brighton (about 12 miles away).
Older houses in Alciston, near The Parish Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. If you let a house with a garage near Berwick (Sussex) station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Alciston is within about 2 miles of the South Downs National Park, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs.

Common questions in Alciston
Do older homes in Alciston have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Alciston may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Alciston normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
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.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
