How asbestos garage roof removal works in Sidlesham Common
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and storm-damaged sheets.
In places like Sidlesham Common, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Sidlesham Common
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Sidlesham Common, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Sidlesham Common
Is asbestos common in Sidlesham Common homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sidlesham Common and the area around Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Sidlesham Common and the area towards Chichester station, about 2.6 miles north.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What affects the price in Sidlesham Common
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
