Asbestos help in Ashford Common
Asbestos garage roof removal near Ashford Common
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Whether it’s garages due a new roof and single and double garage roofs, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
In areas like Ashford Common, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

For businesses and landlords in Ashford Common
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Questions from Ashford Common
Do you cover Ashford Common from London?
We cover Ashford Common, about 16 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Ashford Common typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How we price garage roof removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
