Asbestos garage roof removal near Ash
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garage conversions and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around Ash may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
After we’ve finished in Ash
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Questions from Ash
Are garage roofs in Ash normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes, we cover Ash and the area towards Longfield station, about 2.8 miles north.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
