After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards

- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Brasted
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include single garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In Brasted, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
In Brasted, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Brasted: your questions answered
Do older homes in Brasted have asbestos?
Any home in Brasted built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
