Asbestos garage roof removal for Bexon properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Bexon tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about single garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In places like Bexon, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Responsibilities for owners

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we deal with in Bexon
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
These come up again and again:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-tos and carports
For rented homes with garages close to Sittingbourne station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bexon
Do you cover small places like Bexon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Bexon have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bexon can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
