Asbestos garage roof removal in Faygate
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and pieces of broken roof.
In towns and villages like Faygate, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work done to the regulations

Why people call us in Faygate
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages due a new roof
Around Warnham LNR, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Faygate questions
Do you work near Faygate station?
Yes. Faygate station is close to the centre of Faygate, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Faygate from London?
We cover Faygate, about 29 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Is my garage roof in Faygate asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
