Your questions about garage roof removal in Fenn Street
Do you come out to small villages like Fenn Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Fenn Street from London?
Fenn Street is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
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 work in Fenn Street?
Yes. We cover Fenn Street and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Once we’re done:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012

- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
