Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

FAQs for Capstone
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.
How far is Capstone from London?
Capstone is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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 garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
