DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Selham
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Selham tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From pieces of broken roof and garages due a new roof, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Selham may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

For businesses and landlords in Selham
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Selham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Common questions in Selham
My garage in Selham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
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.
