Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Asbestos garage roofs around Linkhill
Linkhill is about 11 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. We work across Linkhill and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Linkhill is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. Our area stretches from Linkhill to Canterbury (28 miles away).
Near open spaces such as Flatropers Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. Linkhill is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in Linkhill
- Gutters and downpipes

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

FAQs for Linkhill
Are garage roofs in Linkhill generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Linkhill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
