Asbestos help in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath questions
My garage in Haywards Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Haywards Heath homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Haywards Heath can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Don’ts

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What else we do in Haywards Heath
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Haywards Heath
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.

- Garages in a row or block
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Double garages
For garages on or near the A272 and B2028, let us know where we can load.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What category of work it is
- The documents you’ll receive
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
For businesses and landlords in Haywards Heath
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
