About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kit's Coty
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. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and single and double garage roofs, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Kit's Coty are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Kit's Coty: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Kit's Coty from London?
Kit's Coty is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Good to know
