In places like Chegworth, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chegworth must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.

Questions from Chegworth
Do you cover small places like Chegworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
