For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Whetsted, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages

Your questions about garage roof removal in Whetsted
Do you work near Paddock Wood station?
Yes. Paddock Wood station is about 0.9 miles south-east of Whetsted, and we cover both.
Do you cover Whetsted from London?
Whetsted is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Towns and villages near Whetsted
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
