Asbestos garage roof removal for Chestfield
Asbestos garage roof removal for Chestfield properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and single and double garage roofs.
In a village like Chestfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How we price garage roof removal
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Labels, if any
- The access route
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Typical garage roof jobs in Chestfield
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Carport roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near West Blean and Thornden Woods may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
