Asbestos help in Broomfield
Asbestos garage roof removal in Broomfield
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include block garages and single and double garage roofs, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a village like Broomfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Broomfield
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Broomfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in Broomfield?
Yes, we do: Broomfield is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.

Looking after things afterwards

- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Broomfield
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
If you let a house with a garage near Hollingbourne station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Broomfield by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
