Your questions about garage roof removal in Hazel Street
How far is Hazel Street from London?
We cover Hazel Street, about 34 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Hazel Street generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hazel Street
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and storm-damaged sheets, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Garages around Hazel Street may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Carport roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Sheet garages
For rented homes with garages close to Paddock Wood station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Hazel Street, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Options to consider in Hazel Street
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
