Asbestos garage roof removal for South Street properties
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s garages being knocked down and old, cracked sheets, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near South Street are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Step by step
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in South Street by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in South Street must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

South Street: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in South Street homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Street can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
