Rural garages near Bidborough are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bidborough, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
