About our asbestos garage roof removal in Herne Pound
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s garages being knocked down and sheet garages, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Herne Pound are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
In older properties, we often see:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Carport roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Wateringbury station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Duty holders and landlords in Herne Pound
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Helpful guides
Questions from Herne Pound
Are garage roofs in Herne Pound usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Herne Pound from London?
We cover Herne Pound, about 26 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
