Asbestos garage roof removal near Hollington
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and single and double garage roofs, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In Hollington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Duty holders and landlords in Hollington
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hollington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hollington
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Block garages
- Sheet garages
If you let a house with a garage near St Leonards Warrior Square station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Common questions in Hollington
Do you cover Hollington and the area around St Leonards Warrior Square station?
Yes. St Leonards Warrior Square station is about 1.4 miles south of Hollington, and we cover both.
My garage in Hollington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
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.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before booking:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
