FAQs for Lyminster
Do you cover Lyminster and the area around Arundel station?
Yes. Arundel station is about 1.3 miles north of Lyminster, and we cover both.
My garage in Lyminster has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Lyminster asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How we price garage roof removal
We base our quote on:
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Lyminster were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
These come up again and again:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage blocks
- Storm-damaged sheets
Around WWT Arundel, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Suitable insurance for the work
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
