Asbestos garage roof removal in Broad Street
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. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and garages in a row or block, including ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a village like Broad Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Why people choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Common questions in Broad Street
Do you cover Broad Street and the area around Hollingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Broad Street and the area towards Hollingbourne station, about 1.1 miles south.
How far is Broad Street from London?
Broad Street is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you remove the whole garage?
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 asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How we work
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Broad Street by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- 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
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Dig out previous surveys
