Asbestos garage roof removal for Chuck Hatch properties

In a village like Chuck Hatch, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After we have finished:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Chuck Hatch were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Common questions in Chuck Hatch
Do you cover Chuck Hatch from London?
We cover Chuck Hatch, about 30 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Chuck Hatch have asbestos?
If your home in Chuck Hatch was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work in Chuck Hatch?
We do: Chuck Hatch is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.

What we deal with in Chuck Hatch
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages in a row or block
- Concrete-panel garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you’re a landlord with garages near Ashurst Kent station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before booking anyone

- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
