About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chidham
Garage roof removal in Chidham usually includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. We often deal with downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are sheet garages and lean-to roofs.
In a village like Chidham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Typical garage roof jobs in Chidham
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Single garages
- Garages due a new roof
Older houses in Chidham, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Chidham: your questions answered
Do you work near Nutbourne station?
Yes. Nutbourne station is about 1 mile north-west of Chidham, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Chidham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Duty holders and landlords in Chidham
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- The category of work
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll advise.
