Asbestos garage roof removal in Lower Twydall
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Lower Twydall
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and concrete-panel garages.
In a village like Lower Twydall, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Medway still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Block garages
Near open spaces such as Bishop Saltings, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
