HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Wallcrouch questions
Do older homes in Wallcrouch have asbestos?
If your home in Wallcrouch was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What we deal with in Wallcrouch
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across East Sussex still have them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Sheet garages
- Garages due a new roof
For rented homes with garages close to Stonegate station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
