For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Warninglid must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Warninglid

The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about garage blocks and carport roofs.

In towns and villages like Warninglid, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

After we’ve finished in Warninglid

Share the paperwork with your builder.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • File the waste paperwork
  • Tell us about parking and access

Avoid these

Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Keep weight off the roof.

Choosing the right option

Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Why choose us

  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Covering London and the South East
  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Take a look at how we price jobs or our cost guide.

Can I do it myself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Where asbestos turns up

Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:

  • Garage conversions
  • Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
  • Storm-damaged sheets
  • Single and double garage roofs

Around Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the job needs notifying
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Questions from Warninglid

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

How far is Warninglid from London?

Warninglid is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

How long will the job take?

Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

What’s included, and what is not

A few things to be aware of:

  • Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
  • If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
  • Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

  3. You get a written quote
  4. The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
  5. The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
