Typical garage roof jobs in Aylesham
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.
Typical jobs in Aylesham include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Carport roofs
- Double garages
- Concrete-panel garages
For rented homes with garages close to Aylesham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The method and controls
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Aylesham were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Aylesham
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Aylesham typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. 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 must still be done properly.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
