About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ashbank
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and garages before a new roof or conversion, including bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a village like Ashbank, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ashbank
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
Older houses in Ashbank, near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ashbank
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Ashbank from London?
Ashbank is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
