Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in World's End, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Asbestos garage roof removal near World's End
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about sheet garages and lean-tos and carports, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like World's End, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.

What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Questions from World's End
Do you cover World's End and the area around Wivelsfield station?
Yes, we cover World's End, including the streets around Wivelsfield station.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is my garage roof in World's End asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
