How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chattenden
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include garage blocks and garages before a new roof or conversion, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Chattenden are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Why people call us in Chattenden
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
These are some of the things we deal with in Chattenden:
- Carport roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Old, cracked sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Near open spaces such as Rede Common, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before booking anyone
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The method and controls
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Records for your files

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chattenden, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Good to know

- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach

Chattenden: your questions answered
Could my house in Chattenden contain asbestos?
Any home in Chattenden 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 cover small places like Chattenden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How we price garage roof removal
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
