Your questions about garage roof removal in Berwick
Do you cover Berwick and the area around Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. Berwick (Sussex) station is close to the centre of Berwick, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Berwick from London?
We cover Berwick, about 47 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Berwick garages: local notes

Near open spaces such as Firle Beacon, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. In Berwick, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs. Berwick is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs. The sea is within about 6 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN26, and your garage roof job can be anywhere in it. Your property could be on Station Road, Cornford Crescent and The Village.

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
