Asbestos garage roof removal near Chillenden
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about double garages and carport roofs, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Chillenden are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Chillenden include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages being knocked down
- Sheet garages
- Garages in a row or block
Near open spaces such as Monk's Wall nature reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The scope of the job, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Chillenden for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.

Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Chillenden, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Materials we deal with

They’re removed whole where possible.
Ridge pieces
