Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Branbridges must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Branbridges questions
Do you cover Branbridges and the area around Beltring station?
Yes, we cover Branbridges and the area towards Beltring station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
My garage in Branbridges has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
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 normally quick once we’re set up.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
