Asbestos garage roof removal for Headcorn properties

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and garages in a row or block.

In Headcorn, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Headcorn questions

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do older homes in Headcorn have asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Headcorn may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you take down the walls too?

We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.

What happens to the old roof sheets?

Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.

Can you quote from photos?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Is my garage roof in Headcorn asbestos?

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
