Asbestos garage roof removal near Chartham Hatch
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Chartham Hatch tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garage conversions and old, cracked sheets, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Chartham Hatch may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next

After we have finished:

Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Chartham Hatch
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Chartham Hatch and the area around Chartham station?
Yes. Chartham station is about 1 mile south of Chartham Hatch, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
