How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chevening
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s garage blocks and garages due for demolition, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Chevening, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Duty holders and landlords in Chevening
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan garage roof jobs in Chevening for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

Common questions in Chevening
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 small places like Chevening?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.

Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
