Asbestos garage roof removal near Nonington
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Nonington
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and brittle, leaking roofs.
Rural garages near Nonington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block

If you let a house with a garage near Aylesham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Nonington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Questions from Nonington
Are garage roofs in Nonington generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Nonington and the area around Aylesham station?
Yes, we cover Nonington and the area towards Aylesham station, about 0.8 miles west.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
