Asbestos garage roof removal in Sellindge
Asbestos garage roof removal for Sellindge properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Sellindge. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include carport roofs and garage blocks, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Garages around Sellindge may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage conversions
If you are a landlord with garages near Westenhanger station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Sellindge: your questions answered
Do you cover Sellindge and the area around Westenhanger station?
Yes, we cover Sellindge and the area towards Westenhanger station, about 1.6 miles south-east.
Could my house in Sellindge contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is my garage roof in Sellindge asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
