Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Typical garage roof jobs in Hangleton
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage blocks
- Lean-to roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Double garages
If you let a house with a garage near Portslade station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Before booking anyone
- The documents you’ll receive
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Keep weight off the roof.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas

Hangleton: your questions answered
Do you work near Portslade station?
Yes, we cover Hangleton and the area towards Portslade station, about 1 mile south.
Are garage roofs in Hangleton generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
