Asbestos garage roof removal in Hearnden Green
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about carport roofs and garages due a new roof.
Rural garages near Hearnden Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These come up again and again:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Pieces of broken roof
If you are a landlord with garages near Headcorn station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hearnden Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Hearnden Green
Do you cover small places like Hearnden Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Hearnden Green homes?
If your home in Hearnden Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- 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.
