DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.

After we’ve finished in Davington
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Davington
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages being knocked down
For rented homes with garages close to Faversham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Davington questions
Do you cover Davington from London?
We cover Davington, about 44 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Davington have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is my garage roof in Davington asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
