Asbestos garage roof removal near Broad Oak
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and carport roofs, including cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In a village like Broad Oak, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Broad Oak
How far is Broad Oak from London?
Broad Oak is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald 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 do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Broad Oak
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Old, cracked sheets
Near open spaces such as Selwyns Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.

Helpful guides
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
