Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Hucking properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and old, cracked sheets, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards.
Garages around Hucking may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Common questions in Hucking
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Hucking?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Hucking?
Yes, we do: Hucking is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Garage roof removal in Hucking is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.

Avoid these

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Across Hucking, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
