Asbestos garage roof removal in Ash Green
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garage conversions and garages being knocked down.
In places like Ash Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Ash Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Ash Green homes?
Any home in Ash Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Ash Green from London?
We cover Ash Green, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.

Going forward:
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Ash Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
