Questions from Sedlescombe
Do you cover Sedlescombe from London?
Sedlescombe is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
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.
Is my garage roof in Sedlescombe asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Do you work in Sedlescombe?
Yes, Sedlescombe is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work

After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
