Asbestos garage roof removal in Barnham
If you are not sure your garage roof in Barnham is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and single garages.
In a village like Barnham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Barnham questions
Could my house in Barnham contain asbestos?
Any home in Barnham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Barnham and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is close to the centre of Barnham, and we cover the whole area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Why people call us in Barnham
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
