Coleman's Hatch questions
My garage in Coleman's Hatch has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Older houses in Coleman's Hatch, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see

- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets 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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
