Asbestos garage roof removal for Goddington properties
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From garages in a row or block and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Goddington, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Goddington
Do you work on properties 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.
Are garage roofs in Goddington usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Goddington were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
