Asbestos garage roof removal near Kent Street
Kent Street: your questions answered
My garage in Kent Street has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Wateringbury station?
Yes, we cover Kent Street and the area towards Wateringbury station, about 2.1 miles south-east.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Kent Street?
Yes. We cover Kent Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kent Street
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and broken sheets after high winds, involving downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Kent Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.
