DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After we have finished in West Chiltington
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
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.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve may have outbuildings as well as a garage.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear written quotes
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Duty holders and landlords in West Chiltington
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
FAQs for West Chiltington
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 3 miles west of West Chiltington, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like West Chiltington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
