Asbestos garage roof removal in Bredgar
Common questions in Bredgar
Are garage roofs in Bredgar typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 2.6 miles north-east of Bredgar, and we cover both.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Bredgar properties
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From single garages and garages due for demolition, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Bredgar may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What else we do in Bredgar
Typical garage roof jobs in Bredgar
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Block garages
- Garage conversions
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
Around Detling Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
