How asbestos garage roof removal works in Farningham
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Farningham tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and lean-tos and carports.
Rural garages near Farningham are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Farningham: your questions answered
My garage in Farningham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties 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 for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
After we’ve finished in Farningham
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
