About our asbestos garage roof removal in Tile Hurst
If you are not sure your garage roof in Tile Hurst 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. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and carport roofs, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
Garages around Tile Hurst may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Tile Hurst
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Tile Hurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Tile Hurst
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Tile Hurst:
- Garage conversions
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
For rented homes with garages close to Polegate station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

After we have finished in Tile Hurst
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
