Asbestos garage roof removal near Fontwell
Asbestos garage roof removal for Fontwell properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Fontwell. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and roofs to clear before demolition.
In places like Fontwell, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Fontwell
My garage in Fontwell has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my garage roof in Fontwell asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
