What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

South Stour questions
My garage in South Stour 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 come out to small villages like South Stour?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Duty holders and landlords in South Stour
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in South Stour, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Ashford International station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
