How asbestos garage roof removal works in Rusthall
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In a smaller place like Rusthall, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Questions from Rusthall
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Rusthall contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Rusthall may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you cover Rusthall?
Yes. We cover Rusthall and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
