Asbestos garage roof removal for Hurst Wickham
Hurst Wickham: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Hurst Wickham generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hurst Wickham
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and sheet garages, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In areas like Hurst Wickham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What we deal with in Hurst Wickham
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Garages being knocked down
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
If you let a house with a garage near Hassocks station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Comparing quotes
- What category of work it is
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once we are done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
