Responsibilities for owners
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Gill's Green
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Garages around Gill's Green may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Gill's Green
Is asbestos common in Gill's Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Gill's Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Etchingham station?
Yes. Etchingham station is about 4.5 miles south-west of Gill's Green, and we cover both.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is my garage roof in Gill's Green asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
