How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Malling
Removing cement roof sheets is normally 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 lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like West Malling, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in West Malling, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in West Malling
Do you work near West Malling station?
Yes. West Malling station is about 0.7 miles east of West Malling, and we cover both.
Do older homes in West Malling have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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 can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
