Asbestos garage roof removal for Poling
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Poling
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Poling is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, including cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In areas like Poling, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us

Your questions about garage roof removal in Poling
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Poling contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Poling can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
