Questions from Grafty Green
Do you work near Lenham station?
Yes, we cover Grafty Green and the area towards Lenham station, about 2.1 miles north-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Grafty Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
Is my garage roof in Grafty Green asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Grafty Green properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Grafty Green. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and garages due for demolition.
Rural garages near Grafty Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Why people call us in Grafty Green
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
Older houses in Grafty Green, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
