Asbestos garage roof removal in Grubb Street
Asbestos garage roof removal near Grubb Street
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Grubb Street tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about carport roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Grubb Street are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

For businesses and landlords in Grubb Street

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
After we’ve finished in Grubb Street
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Going forward:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
FAQs for Grubb Street
Are garage roofs in Grubb Street typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is my garage roof in Grubb Street asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
