Asbestos garage roof removal near Cranbrook
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In Cranbrook, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Cranbrook questions
Can you work in Cranbrook with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Cranbrook have asbestos?
Any home in Cranbrook built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cranbrook, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
