After we’ve finished in Sissinghurst
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Typical garage roof jobs in Sissinghurst
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garages due a new roof
Older houses in Sissinghurst, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

FAQs for Sissinghurst
My garage in Sissinghurst 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.
Do you cover Sissinghurst from London?
We cover Sissinghurst, about 39 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is my garage roof in Sissinghurst asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
