Asbestos garage roof removal near Sevington
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Sevington tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Common materials are ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are carport roofs and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Sevington may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Sevington: your questions answered
Do you cover Sevington from London?
Sevington is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Sevington generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sevington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
