Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Denton
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
- Garage conversions
- Concrete-panel garages
Properties near Itford Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job

Denton: your questions answered
Do you work near Newhaven Town station?
Yes, we cover Denton and the area towards Newhaven Town station, about 0.6 miles south.
Do you cover Denton from London?
We cover Denton, about 49 miles from central London.
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 typically are not licensed.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Denton garages: local notes
Denton is about 1 mile north-east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. Properties in Denton range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Denton to Brighton (9 miles away).

What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
