Asbestos garage roof removal for Park Wood properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garage blocks and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes.
In areas like Park Wood, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Park Wood, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Questions from Park Wood
Do older homes in Park Wood have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Park Wood and the area around Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. Rainham (Kent) station is about 1.5 miles north of Park Wood, and we cover both.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in Park Wood?
Yes. We cover Park Wood and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
