Asbestos garage roof removal for Brook Street
Asbestos garage roof removal for Brook Street properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and lean-to roofs, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Brook Street, 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, whatever the size of the job.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Brook Street were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

If you’re a landlord with garages near Appledore (Kent) station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common questions in Brook Street
Do you cover Brook Street and the area around Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we cover Brook Street and the area towards Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.6 miles south-east.
Do you cover Brook Street from London?
We cover Brook Street, about 47 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
