About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hankham
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. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and pieces of broken roof, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Hankham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Hankham
My garage in Hankham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
