Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Wivelsfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Wivelsfield and the area around Wivelsfield station?
Yes. Wivelsfield station is about 1.4 miles west of Wivelsfield, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Wivelsfield homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wivelsfield may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Wivelsfield by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
