Asbestos garage roof removal for Westmeston
Asbestos garage roof removal in Westmeston
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and old, cracked sheets, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Westmeston, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
FAQs for Westmeston
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Westmeston contain asbestos?
If your home in Westmeston was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We will tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Westmeston by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit

Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Typical garage roof jobs in Westmeston
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Single garages
Near open spaces such as Ditchling Beacon, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What category of work it is
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
