About our asbestos garage roof removal in Barns Green
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like Barns Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Duty holders and landlords in Barns Green
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.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

What else we do in Barns Green
Barns Green questions
Are garage roofs in Barns Green generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Barns Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Barns Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Is my garage roof in Barns Green asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Barns Green?
Yes, Barns Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

What we deal with in Barns Green
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
Around Knepp Wildland, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The method and controls
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
