Asbestos garage roof removal in East Harting
How asbestos garage roof removal works in East Harting
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about sheet garages and garages being knocked down.
In a village like East Harting, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Why people call us in East Harting
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
In older properties, we often see:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due for demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Petersfield station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

FAQs for East Harting
My garage in East Harting has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Duty holders and landlords in East Harting
For managing agents and freeholders in East Harting, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
