Asbestos garage roof removal near Bearsted
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In areas like Bearsted, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Bearsted
How far is Bearsted from London?
We cover Bearsted, about 33 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
