Your questions about garage roof removal in Brook Street
Do you cover Brook Street from London?
We cover Brook Street, about 33 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Brook Street
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-tos and carports
Near open spaces such as Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
