Asbestos garage roof removal in Chelsfield

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
FAQs for Chelsfield
Could my house in Chelsfield contain asbestos?
If your home in Chelsfield was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chelsfield and the area around Chelsfield station?
Yes, we cover Chelsfield and the area towards Chelsfield station, about 0.8 miles west.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Duty holders and landlords in Chelsfield
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
What happens
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Chelsfield is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
