For businesses and landlords in Ticehurst
If your business premises in Ticehurst were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Ticehurst
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Ticehurst are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Ticehurst
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes

Questions from Ticehurst
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage in Ticehurst has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ticehurst
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages being knocked down
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages in a row or block
Across Ticehurst, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
