Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in The Moor, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Asbestos garage roof removal near The Moor
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and double garages, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around The Moor may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Which option is right?

What we deal with in The Moor
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Carport roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Sheet garages
If you let a house with a garage near Etchingham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

The Moor questions
Do you come out to small villages like The Moor?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover The Moor from London?
The Moor is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
The scope of garage roof removal
