Your questions about garage roof removal in Heart's Delight
Do you cover Heart's Delight and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Heart's Delight, and we cover both.
My garage in Heart's Delight has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What we deal with in Heart's Delight
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Single garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Sittingbourne station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- VAT, clearly stated
- What paperwork you get
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Heart's Delight must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Heart's Delight by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
