Asbestos garage roof removal near Friar's Gate
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and garage conversions, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards.
Garages around Friar's Gate may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that is needed.

FAQs for Friar's Gate
Do you cover Friar's Gate from London?
Friar's Gate is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
