Asbestos garage roof removal in Sholden Meadows
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s garage conversions and garages in a row or block, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Sholden Meadows, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in Sholden Meadows
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Sholden Meadows
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Single garages
If you let a house with a garage near Deal station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work

What else we do in Sholden Meadows
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
