Asbestos garage roof removal near Chainhurst
Garage roof removal in Chainhurst usually includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Whether it’s garage conversions and garages in a row or block, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Chainhurst, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Why people call us in Chainhurst
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
In older properties, we often see:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-tos and carports
If you’re a landlord with garages near Marden station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, 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 Chainhurst by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Questions from Chainhurst
Do you cover small places like Chainhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Chainhurst have asbestos?
If your home in Chainhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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 take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Chainhurst were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
