Asbestos garage roof removal in Birling

Garages around Birling may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Birling
Do you work near West Malling station?
Yes. West Malling station is about 1.8 miles south of Birling, and we cover both.
Could my house in Birling contain asbestos?
If your home in Birling was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What else we do in Birling
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Clear advice on your options
- Reports and results you can share
