Common questions in Plumpton Green
Are garage roofs in Plumpton Green usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Plumpton Green and the area around Plumpton station?
Yes. Plumpton station is close to the centre of Plumpton Green, and we cover the whole area.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover Plumpton Green?
Yes. We cover Plumpton Green and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Plumpton Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Blackcap, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
