How asbestos garage roof removal works in Dunk's Green
Many garages built before 2000, in Dunk's Green and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and sheet garages.
Garages around Dunk's Green may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
The process
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Dunk's Green by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Let us know if something’s broken

Duty holders and landlords in Dunk's Green
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from Dunk's Green
Do you come out to small villages like Dunk's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is my garage roof in Dunk's Green asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
