Asbestos garage roof removal in Folkington
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Common questions in Folkington
Are garage roofs in Folkington generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Polegate station?
Yes, we cover Folkington and the area towards Polegate station, about 1.5 miles east.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Folkington
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due a new roof
If you’re a landlord with garages near Polegate station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Before booking anyone
- The method and controls
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What isn’t included
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
