Asbestos garage roof removal near Badlesmere
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In places like Badlesmere, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

FAQs for Badlesmere
Do you cover small places like Badlesmere?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Badlesmere generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
