Asbestos garage roof removal for Halnaker properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and concrete-panel garages, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In a village like Halnaker, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Halnaker questions
Do you cover small places like Halnaker?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Halnaker and the area around Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 3.8 miles south-west of Halnaker, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Halnaker must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Typical garage roof jobs in Halnaker
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-tos and carports
Older houses in Halnaker, near The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Identify first, remove only when needed

The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Halnaker by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Describe the garage
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- You get the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
