DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Work done to the regulations

How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Ham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
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.
Common questions in Ham
Do you work near Sandwich station?
Yes, we cover Ham and the area towards Sandwich station, about 1.7 miles north.
Are garage roofs in Ham usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
