About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sullington
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Sullington is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and garage blocks, we deal with downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Sullington, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Duty holders and landlords in Sullington
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sullington, 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.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Keeping things safe:

- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Sullington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Sullington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Sullington have asbestos?
If your home in Sullington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

- Garage blocks
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single garages
- Carport roofs
If you are a landlord with garages near Amberley station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
