About our asbestos garage roof removal in Three Chimneys

Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Three Chimneys, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Single garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
If you let a house with a garage near Headcorn station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Which option is right?

FAQs for Three Chimneys
Is asbestos common in Three Chimneys homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Three Chimneys may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Three Chimneys from London?
Three Chimneys is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before booking:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Duty holders and landlords in Three Chimneys
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.

What else we do in Three Chimneys
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
