The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Boxley by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Warn neighbours if needed

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Boxley
Do you cover Boxley from London?
We cover Boxley, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you work near Maidstone East station?
Yes, we cover Boxley and the area towards Maidstone East station, about 2.2 miles south-west.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
