Can I do it myself?

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.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in Boughton Green, near Coxheath Congregational Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

FAQs for Boughton Green
My garage in Boughton Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Boughton Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Duty holders and landlords in Boughton Green
If your business premises in Boughton Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Boughton Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
