How asbestos garage roof removal works in Benenden
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. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are single garages and sheet garages.
Garages around Benenden may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs

Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Places near Benenden
What else we do in Benenden
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Benenden must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Benenden: your questions answered
How far is Benenden from London?
We cover Benenden, about 42 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
You will get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Why people call us in Benenden
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Block garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due for demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the B2086, tell us about parking and access.
What to look for in a quote
- How fibres will be kept down
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the job needs notifying
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work

- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards

Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Benenden by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
