Asbestos garage roof removal for High Halden properties

Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and carport roofs, including downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.

Garages around High Halden may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

High Halden: your questions answered

Is asbestos common in High Halden homes?

Any home in High Halden built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you cover High Halden and the area around Pluckley station?

Yes, we cover High Halden and the area towards Pluckley station, about 3.9 miles north.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Can you quote from photos?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

How do I get a quote?

Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

What paperwork will I get?

That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes vary because of:

  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • How many samples are needed
  • How much there is
  • The category of work

Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Photos that help

For a quick quote, include:

  • Damaged areas
  • Street parking nearby
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in High Halden

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

  • Prefab garages with cement walls
  • Block garages
  • Storm-damaged sheets
  • Double garages

Across High Halden, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Any exclusions
  • How fibres will be kept down
  • The scope of the job, in writing
  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Choosing the right option

Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

What you get

  • Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
  • Clear advice on your options
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • No removal until we know what it is

Take a look at our prices page and our cost guide.

Looking after things afterwards

After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.

After we’ve finished:

  • Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Don’ts

Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Keep weight off the roof.

Materials, one by one

Roof felt

We’ll say if it should be tested.

Gutters and downpipes

They’re removed whole where possible.

For businesses and landlords in High Halden

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in High Halden, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
