Asbestos garage roof removal for Ivy Hatch
Ivy Hatch: your questions answered
My garage in Ivy Hatch has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Ivy Hatch
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and lean-to roofs.
In towns and villages like Ivy Hatch, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ivy Hatch
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheet garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages in a row or block
If you let a house with a garage near Borough Green & Wrotham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
