Asbestos garage roof removal in Fordwich
Typical garage roof jobs in Fordwich
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Broken sheets after high winds
Across Fordwich, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Fordwich
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. Whether it’s single garages and garage conversions, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
In places like Fordwich, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Fordwich
How far is Fordwich from London?
We cover Fordwich, about 54 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Fordwich?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
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 work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
For businesses and landlords in Fordwich
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
