Asbestos garage roof removal in Honey Hill
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are block garages and garages due a new roof.
In a village like Honey Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Honey Hill
Do you work near Canterbury West station?
Yes, we cover Honey Hill and the area towards Canterbury West station, about 2.8 miles south-east.
How far is Honey Hill from London?
Honey Hill is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
- Garage blocks
Across Honey Hill, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

For businesses and landlords in Honey Hill
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Honey Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first. Late-December sunset in Honey Hill is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed

To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
