Asbestos garage roof removal in Cudham
Asbestos garage roof removal in Cudham
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garages due a new roof and double garages, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Cudham are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Cudham by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

To avoid problems in future:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
