About our asbestos garage roof removal in Heyshott
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks, involving cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
Rural garages near Heyshott are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Heyshott
My garage in Heyshott has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Heyshott have asbestos?
If your home in Heyshott was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-tos and carports
- Prefab garages with cement walls
In Heyshott, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Duty holders and landlords in Heyshott
If you run a business from older premises in Heyshott, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After we’ve finished in Heyshott
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
