Asbestos garage roof removal in Daniel's Water
Daniel's Water: your questions answered
Do you work near Pluckley station?
Yes, we cover Daniel's Water and the area towards Pluckley station, about 2.6 miles north-west.
My garage in Daniel's Water has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Daniel's Water were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Why people call us in Daniel's Water
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Lean-tos and carports
If you are a landlord with garages near Pluckley station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
