Asbestos garage roof removal near Sholden
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Sholden
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From single and double garage roofs and carport roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In places like Sholden, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Garage roof removal around Sholden

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Sholden
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Sheet garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Deal station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Sholden: your questions answered
How far is Sholden from London?
We cover Sholden, about 66 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Sholden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What happens
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. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Sholden by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
