How asbestos garage roof removal works in Small Hythe
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about storm-damaged sheets and lean-to roofs.
In areas like Small Hythe, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your options compared
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Small Hythe: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Small Hythe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Small Hythe homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Small Hythe may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Small Hythe
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
