Asbestos garage roof removal near Dymchurch
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Dymchurch
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garage blocks and double garages.
In areas like Dymchurch, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Do you cover Dymchurch and the area around Westenhanger station?
Yes, we cover Dymchurch and the area towards Westenhanger station, about 4.6 miles north.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Dymchurch must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
