About our asbestos garage roof removal in Selsey
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include double garages and brittle, leaking roofs, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
Many people in towns like Selsey convert their garages, and the old cement roof is usually the first thing to go. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Selsey
My garage in Selsey has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Selsey from London?
Selsey is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Selsey for daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
