How asbestos garage roof removal works in Flansham
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Flansham tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and block garages, involving cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Flansham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Flansham
Are garage roofs in Flansham normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Flansham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs

- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
In older properties, we often see:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
- Double garages
- Lean-to roofs
Across Flansham, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Related guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Options to consider in Flansham
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
