Asbestos garage roof removal in Chilmington Green
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chilmington Green
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a village like Chilmington Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Questions from Chilmington Green
Could my house in Chilmington Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chilmington Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Chilmington Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.

Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone

Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Why people call us in Chilmington Green
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due for demolition
Across Chilmington Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
