About our asbestos garage roof removal in Blue Bell Hill
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. People often contact us about carport roofs and garage blocks, involving cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In a village like Blue Bell Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Typical garage roof jobs in Blue Bell Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Carport roofs
- Garage blocks
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Snodland station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

After we have finished:

Don’ts

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Common questions in Blue Bell Hill
Could my house in Blue Bell Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Blue Bell Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
