Asbestos garage roof removal near Ash
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From brittle, leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.
In towns and villages like Ash, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Ash: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Ash typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Sandwich station?
Yes, we cover Ash and the area towards Sandwich station, about 2.8 miles east.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
