About asbestos garage roof removal in PO18

HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets.

We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else.

Landmarks near Bosham

Locally, our jobs take us close to The United Reformed Church, The Berkeley Arms Public House and Bosham Primary School and the streets around them. Bosham’s nearest station is Bosham station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). Green spaces within easy reach include Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.

Garage roofs across PO18

Across PO18, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, in Chichester, Portfield and Fishbourne and its smaller places. Parts of PO18 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. 10 of the places we cover in PO18 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Bosham: Near open spaces such as Nutborne Marshes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. If you’re a landlord with garages near Bosham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. In December, it’s dark in Bosham by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Every quote reflects:

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What we deal with in PO18

Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Single and double garage roofs
Garages due for demolition
Sheet garages
Lean-to roofs

Materials, one by one

Gutters and downpipes

Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.

Fixings

The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.

Choosing the right option

Removing the roof sheets 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.

Questions from PO18

Do you work in PO18?

We do: PO18 is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
