Asbestos garage roof removal near Warren Street
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include carport roofs and broken sheets after high winds, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Rural garages near Warren Street are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Warren Street
My garage in Warren Street has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Garage roof removal in Warren Street is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.

Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Warren Street were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
