How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Burton
If you are not sure your garage roof in West Burton is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In a village like West Burton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garage blocks
If you let a house with a garage near Amberley station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Common questions in West Burton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is West Burton from London?
We cover West Burton, about 45 miles from central London.
Do you work in West Burton?
Yes, West Burton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.

Helpful guides
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- File the waste paperwork

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
