About our asbestos garage roof removal in Minsted
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Minsted. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about lean-tos and carports and old, cracked sheets.
Garages around Minsted may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Common questions in Minsted
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.
Do you cover small places like Minsted?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

What else we do in Minsted
Why people call us in Minsted
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Iping and Stedham Commons, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
Responsibilities for owners
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
