About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ashford
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are block garages and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Rural garages near Ashford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we deal with in Ashford
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-to roofs
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
Near open spaces such as Blashford Lakes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
FAQs for Ashford
Do you cover small places like Ashford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Ashford usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.

The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Ashford for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
