Asbestos garage roof removal in Mountfield
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mountfield, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Mountfield
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, including ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Mountfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Mountfield
Are garage roofs in Mountfield usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my garage roof in Mountfield asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
