Asbestos garage roof removal for Pembury 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 materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about lean-to roofs and garages due a new roof.
In a smaller place like Pembury, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

FAQs for Pembury
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My garage in Pembury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan garage roof jobs in Pembury for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Afterwards

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Pembury, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Typical garage roof jobs in Pembury
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage blocks
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
Around Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- The method and controls
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What category of work it is
- The scope of the job, in writing
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
- The quantity or area
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
