Helpful guides
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chichester
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and brittle, leaking roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In a town like Chichester, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Chichester
Do you cover Chichester from London?
We cover Chichester, about 54 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Chichester homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chichester can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
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.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
How we price garage roof removal
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Typical garage roof jobs in Chichester
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages in a row or block
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Chichester station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
