How asbestos garage roof removal works in PO10
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in PO10 all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. We often deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and carport roofs.
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Cost
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.

PO10: garages, outbuildings and roofs
Garages across PO10, from Chichester, Emsworth and Denvilles to 7 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings. 6 of the places we cover in PO10 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Emsworth: If you let a house with a garage near Emsworth station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Around Brook Meadow (Emsworth), a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores. In December, it’s dark in Emsworth by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note.
What to look for in a quote
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Which laboratory analyses samples
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in PO10 must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
Questions from PO10
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
