Asbestos garage roof removal in Hythe
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Hythe properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Hythe is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about garage blocks and garage conversions.
Many people in towns like Hythe convert their garages, and the old cement roof is normally the first thing to go. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Hythe questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Hythe typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work on commercial premises?

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts

What happens next
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
