Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Double garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages in a row or block
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Frant station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Frant
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and single and double garage roofs.
Garages around Frant may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Frant by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Near open spaces such as Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. Older houses in Frant, near The Parish Church of St Alban or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Frant is within about 4 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Frant: your questions answered
My garage in Frant has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
After we’ve finished in Frant
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
