About our asbestos garage roof removal in Clap Hill
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s roofs to clear before demolition and lean-to roofs, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Clap Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Clap Hill
Do you cover Clap Hill from London?
Clap Hill is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
