Asbestos garage roof removal in Kippington
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. We often deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and lean-to roofs.
In Kippington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Kippington questions
My garage in Kippington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Kippington from London?
We cover Kippington, about 20 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Will I get the price in writing?

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
