Asbestos garage roof removal in Yopps Green
Asbestos garage roof removal in Yopps Green
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include garages due a new roof and old, cracked sheets, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Yopps Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Yopps Green questions
Could my house in Yopps Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Yopps Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
