How asbestos garage roof removal works in Eddington
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof.
In Eddington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Questions from Eddington
Do you cover Eddington and the area around Herne Bay station?
Yes. Herne Bay station is about 0.5 miles north-west of Eddington, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Eddington have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
