About our asbestos garage roof removal in Poynings
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garage blocks and garages due a new roof, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Rural garages near Poynings are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Poynings
Do you cover small places like Poynings?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Poynings and the area around Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover Poynings and the area towards Hassocks station, about 3.3 miles north-east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
