Asbestos garage roof removal in Hadlow
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. We often deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and storm-damaged sheets.
Rural garages near Hadlow are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Hadlow
Are garage roofs in Hadlow generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Hadlow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my garage roof in Hadlow asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Hadlow, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
