Asbestos garage roof removal for Buttsole properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and broken sheets after high winds, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Buttsole, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Buttsole
Do you cover Buttsole and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes, we cover Buttsole and the area towards Sandwich station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Buttsole?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do you cover Buttsole?
Yes, Buttsole is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Buttsole, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
