About our asbestos garage roof removal in Funtington

Rural garages near Funtington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Questions from Funtington
Do you cover Funtington and the area around Nutbourne station?
Yes, we cover Funtington and the area towards Nutbourne station, about 1.8 miles south-west.
Is asbestos common in Funtington homes?
Any home in Funtington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Typical garage roof jobs in Funtington
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.
In older properties, we often see:
- Block garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-to roofs
In Funtington, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- VAT, clearly stated
