Asbestos garage roof removal for Lumley properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Lumley tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and sheet garages, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Lumley are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Garage roof removal around Lumley
Lumley is about 1 mile east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. Properties in Lumley range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Lumley is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Lumley to Southampton (21 miles away).
For rented homes with garages close to Emsworth station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. Near open spaces such as Brook Meadow (Emsworth), some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. Lumley is within about 6 miles of the coast; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.

Questions from Lumley
Could my house in Lumley contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Lumley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Lumley from London?
Lumley is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- 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
