Asbestos garage roof removal for Atherington properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Atherington. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include block garages and garages due a new roof, including downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In places like Atherington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Atherington questions
Do you come out to small villages like Atherington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
