Asbestos garage roof removal for Somerley properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about double garages and garage blocks.
Garages around Somerley may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach

What affects the price in Somerley
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Garage roof removal around Somerley
Somerley is about 4 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex. Homes, landlords and businesses in Somerley contact us for garage roof jobs. Somerley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. We work right across the region, from Somerley to Southampton (26 miles away).
Around Pilsey Island, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. Across Somerley, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. The sea is within about 5 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.
Here we cover the PO20 postcode area, and your garage roof job can be anywhere in it. Your property could be on Bell Lane and Hundredsteddle Lane or the roads around them. We also carry out garage roof jobs in Almodington (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile north-east), Shipton Green (1 mile north-west), Earnley (1 mile south) and East Wittering (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also work in Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (4 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (6 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Chichester Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Pilsey Island.
- Local pubs include The Birdham Public House (1 mile north-east)
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Somerley by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Somerley: your questions answered
Do you cover Somerley from London?
Somerley is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Somerley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Somerley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What we deal with in Somerley
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Old, cracked sheets
If you let a house with a garage near Fishbourne station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What isn’t included
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
