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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Hampers Green
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about sheet garages and garages being knocked down, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Hampers Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What we deal with in Hampers Green
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garages due a new roof
- Sheet garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
Older houses in Hampers Green, near The Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The category of work
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

- Quotes that spell out the scope

Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Hampers Green garages: local notes
Hampers Green is about 13 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Hampers Green has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Hampers Green is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Hampers Green to Guildford (about 17 miles away).
If you’re a landlord with garages near Pulborough station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. Around The Mens, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs.

Hampers Green questions
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.
Do you cover Hampers Green and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Hampers Green and the area towards Pulborough station, about 4.8 miles south-east.
Is my garage roof in Hampers Green asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How it works
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Hampers Green by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
