Asbestos garage roof removal in Cranbrook Common
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. From concrete-panel garages and old, cracked sheets, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like Cranbrook Common, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Duty holders and landlords in Cranbrook Common
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cranbrook Common must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Questions from Cranbrook Common
Do you cover Cranbrook Common and the area around Staplehurst station?
Yes. Staplehurst station is about 3.5 miles north of Cranbrook Common, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
