Asbestos garage roof removal near Graveney
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Graveney
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and storm-damaged sheets.
Rural garages near Graveney are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What else we do in Graveney
For businesses and landlords in Graveney
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Graveney, 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.
Common questions in Graveney
Do you cover Graveney and the area around Faversham station?
Yes, we cover Graveney and the area towards Faversham station, about 2.4 miles west.
How far is Graveney from London?
Graveney is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Graveney asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Quotes that spell out the scope
