Garages around Plummers Plain may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
Typical garage roof jobs in Plummers Plain
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.

Questions from Plummers Plain
Are garage roofs in Plummers Plain usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Plummers Plain from London?
Plummers Plain is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Plummers Plain?
Yes. We cover Plummers Plain and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.

- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park

Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
