Questions from Carlton Hill
Do you cover Carlton Hill and the area around Brighton station?
Yes. Brighton station is about 0.5 miles north-west of Carlton Hill, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Carlton Hill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Carlton Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

We do: our area includes Carlton Hill and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Brighton and Hove.
These come up again and again:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Double garages
For garages on or near the A259, let us know where we can load.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What paperwork you get
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
