Asbestos garage roof removal for Green Street Green
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Green Street Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From lean-tos and carports and garage blocks, we cover corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Green Street Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What we deal with in Green Street Green
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you let a house with a garage near Longfield station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance

FAQs for Green Street Green
Are garage roofs in Green Street Green generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Green Street Green from London?
We cover Green Street Green, about 17 miles from central London.
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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
