About our asbestos garage roof removal in Broadwater Down
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and roofs to clear before demolition.
In towns and villages like Broadwater Down, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Broadwater Down
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Pieces of broken roof
For rented homes with garages close to Tunbridge Wells station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Options to consider in Broadwater Down
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Questions from Broadwater Down
Do you work near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes. Tunbridge Wells station is about 0.9 miles north-east of Broadwater Down, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Broadwater Down have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Going forward:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
