About our asbestos garage roof removal in Frinsted
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and brittle, leaking roofs.
In areas like Frinsted, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Typical garage roof jobs in Frinsted
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
- Lean-tos and carports
Older houses in Frinsted, near St Giles or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance

Frinsted questions
Do you work near Harrietsham station?
Yes. Harrietsham station is about 3 miles south-west of Frinsted, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
