Typical garage roof jobs in South Street
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Roofs to clear before demolition
For rented homes with garages close to Plumpton station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in South Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
FAQs for South Street
Do you cover South Street from London?
South Street is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like South Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
The scope of garage roof removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
