How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kent

HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about single garages and broken sheets after high winds, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away.

Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
We confirm the material, testing if needed
You get a written quote
We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Garages we deal with in Kent

From Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to its villages, Kent has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings. The Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Kent, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Maidstone: If you let a house with a garage near Maidstone West station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Across Maidstone, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. Garage roof removal in Maidstone is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.

For landlords, agents and businesses

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.

If you manage or own a block in Kent, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

What we do and don’t cover

Before booking, note that:

Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

What affects the price in Kent

Prices vary with:

Licensed or non-licensed
Location, parking and any London charges
Disposal costs
The number of samples or the size of the building

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Photos that help

Before you send photos, a few tips:

The parking area
A clear close-up
Cracks or breaks
The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Which option is right?

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.

Typical garage roof jobs in Kent

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

Lean-tos and carports
Old, cracked sheets
Sheet garages

Kent questions

Is my garage roof in Kent asbestos?

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
