Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Near open spaces such as Steep Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

FAQs for Findon Valley
My garage in Findon Valley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Findon Valley and the area around West Worthing station?
Yes. West Worthing station is about 2.4 miles south of Findon Valley, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.

- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park

Don’ts

Choosing the right option
