About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bilting
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Bilting is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In places like Bilting, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Accredited laboratory results
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Bilting, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Bilting: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Bilting?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
