Asbestos garage roof removal in Blackstone
If you are not sure your garage roof in Blackstone is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, including bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Blackstone are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Blackstone
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Block garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Sheet garages
- Garages due for demolition
If you’re a landlord with garages near Hassocks station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Blackstone questions
My garage in Blackstone has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Blackstone contain asbestos?
Any home in Blackstone built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. We plan garage roof jobs in Blackstone for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement

- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Warn neighbours if needed
