About our asbestos garage roof removal in Telscombe
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From single garages and lean-tos and carports, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In areas like Telscombe, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Telscombe
My garage in Telscombe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
