Asbestos garage roof removal in Marden
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and prefab garages with cement walls.
In Marden, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
If you are a landlord with garages near Marden station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
For businesses and landlords in Marden
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Marden, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Marden questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Marden have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
How do I know if my property contains 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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
