Asbestos garage roof removal for Anvil Green properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Anvil Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Anvil Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Anvil Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Your questions about garage roof removal in Anvil Green
Do you cover small places like Anvil Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Anvil Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Anvil Green
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Chilham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Keeping things safe:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
