Asbestos garage roof removal for Horden properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garage blocks and carport roofs.
Garages around Horden may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside

Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Common questions in Horden
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.

Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

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