Asbestos garage roof removal for Bossingham properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and garage blocks.
In places like Bossingham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
- A photo of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

For businesses and landlords in Bossingham
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.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Single and double garage roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Chartham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
