Our asbestos garage roof removal in BN13
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
- 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

BN13: garages, outbuildings and roofs
From Worthing, Durrington and Salvington to its villages, BN13 has many older garages with cement roofs. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings. 10 of the places we cover in BN13 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Worthing: For rented homes with garages close to West Worthing station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Older houses in Worthing, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Garage roof removal in Worthing is planned around daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in BN13, 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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What affects the price in BN13
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An overall view
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Questions from BN13
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
