Asbestos garage roof removal in Sidlesham
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sidlesham
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, we cover ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
Garages around Sidlesham may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What else we do in Sidlesham
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sidlesham questions

How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Sidlesham
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Sheet garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
For garages on or near the B2145, let us know where we can load.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Sidlesham were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
