DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan garage roof jobs in Walter's Green for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area

Your questions about garage roof removal in Walter's Green
Do you cover Walter's Green and the area around Ashurst Kent station?
Yes. Ashurst Kent station is about 1.3 miles south of Walter's Green, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
What we deal with in Walter's Green
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Around Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
