Asbestos garage roof removal for Herne properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Herne. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garages in a row or block and single and double garage roofs.
In towns and villages like Herne, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

FAQs for Herne
My garage in Herne 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.
How far is Herne from London?
We cover Herne, about 54 miles from central London.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Herne garages: local notes
Herne is about 1 mile south of Herne Bay, in Kent. Properties in Herne range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 922 places in Kent.
Near open spaces such as West Blean and Thornden Woods, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. If you let a house with a garage near Herne Bay station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. The sea is within about 2 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.
For garage roof jobs in CT6, just send the postcode and a few photos. That could mean a property on St Martin's View, Ridley Close and Herne Street, wherever it is in Herne. If your property is just outside Herne, we also cover Hunters Forstal (1 mile north-east), Eddington (1 mile north-west), Herne Common (1 mile south-west), Bullockstone (1 mile west) and Broomfield (1 mile north-east).

Looking after things afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Herne, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
