How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wartling
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garages due a new roof and roofs to clear before demolition.
In a village like Wartling, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Wartling questions
Do you work near Normans Bay station?
Yes, we cover Wartling and the area towards Normans Bay station, about 2.7 miles south-east.
My garage in Wartling 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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you cover Wartling?
Yes, Wartling is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
Older houses in Wartling, near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
