About our asbestos garage roof removal in Yapton
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Yapton is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and roofs to clear before demolition.
Homes in areas like Yapton often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Yapton
Is asbestos common in Yapton homes?
Any home in Yapton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Yapton and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Yapton, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Yapton
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage conversions
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Near open spaces such as WWT Arundel, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Before booking anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
