How asbestos garage roof removal works in Rustington
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Rustington tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In a smaller place like Rustington, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Questions from Rustington
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.
Do you cover Rustington from London?
We cover Rustington, about 51 miles from central London.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Rustington is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement

Before we arrive

What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
