Asbestos garage roof removal in Bedgebury Cross
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From storm-damaged sheets and block garages, we cover cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
Rural garages near Bedgebury Cross are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Duty holders and landlords in Bedgebury Cross
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bedgebury Cross, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Common questions in Bedgebury Cross
Do you come out to small villages like Bedgebury Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Bedgebury Cross homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bedgebury Cross can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What happens
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Bedgebury Cross by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
