Questions from Eastling
Are garage roofs in Eastling generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Eastling?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

The scope of garage roof removal
Before you book, note that:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Eastling
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages in a row or block
- Concrete-panel garages
In Eastling, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before booking anyone
- The method and controls
- The documents you’ll receive
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Eastling must 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.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Weighing up your options
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. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Quotes that spell out the scope
