How asbestos garage roof removal works in Frittenden
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include carport roofs and double garages, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Frittenden may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Typical garage roof jobs in Frittenden
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages in a row or block
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage conversions
Older houses in Frittenden, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Frittenden, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Frittenden
My garage in Frittenden has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Frittenden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
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.
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.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
