Asbestos garage roof removal near Hangleton
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From pieces of broken roof and garage conversions, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Hangleton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Hangleton
Could my house in Hangleton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hangleton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Hangleton from London?
We cover Hangleton, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you cover Hangleton?
Yes. We cover Hangleton and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is my garage roof in Hangleton asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Duty holders and landlords in Hangleton
If you manage or own a block in Hangleton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
What we deal with in Hangleton
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These come up again and again:
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
Properties near Highdown Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Whether VAT is included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
