About our asbestos garage roof removal in Fulking
If you are not sure your garage roof in Fulking is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages in a row or block.
In places like Fulking, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Fulking is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Fulking
Do you cover small places like Fulking?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Portslade station?
Yes, we cover Fulking and the area towards Portslade station, about 3.9 miles south.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work in Fulking?
Yes. We cover Fulking and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
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.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Typical garage roof jobs in Fulking
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages being knocked down
- Block garages
Properties near Truleigh Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

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. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
