The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid

Keep weight off the roof.

Common questions in Bolney
How far is Bolney from London?
Bolney is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
