Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
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.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sandling
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and broken sheets after high winds.
Rural garages near Sandling are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Sandling: your questions answered
How far is Sandling from London?
We cover Sandling, about 58 miles from central London.
Do you cover Sandling and the area around Sandling station?
Yes. Sandling station is close to the centre of Sandling, and we cover the whole area.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
