About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bullingstone
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Bullingstone is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and block garages, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Garages around Bullingstone may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
For rented homes with garages close to Tunbridge Wells station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Bullingstone: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Bullingstone usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Bullingstone from London?
We cover Bullingstone, about 28 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Bullingstone, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
