Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
Around The Mens, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.

- What category of work it is
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After we have finished in Fittleworth
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Going forward:
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Options to consider in Fittleworth
