Asbestos garage roof removal for Lewson Street
Asbestos garage roof removal for Lewson Street properties
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and brittle, leaking roofs, involving cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Lewson Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Do you cover Lewson Street and the area around Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 1.3 miles north-west of Lewson Street, and we cover both.

Materials we deal with
Wall panels

Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
