Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Why people call us in Aldrington
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
Across Aldrington, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common questions in Aldrington
Do older homes in Aldrington have asbestos?
Any home in Aldrington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Aldrington and the area around Portslade station?
Yes, we cover Aldrington and the area towards Portslade station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is my garage roof in Aldrington asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
