For businesses and landlords in West Thorney
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in West Thorney must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in West Thorney is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Helpful guides
West Thorney: your questions answered
Do you cover West Thorney from London?
We cover West Thorney, about 59 miles from central London.
Do you work near Southbourne station?
Yes, we cover West Thorney and the area towards Southbourne station, about 2.2 miles north.
Is my garage roof in West Thorney asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
