Asbestos garage roof removal in Horns Green
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From carport roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
Garages around Horns Green may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we deal with in Horns Green
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Knockholt station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Horns Green
How far is Horns Green from London?
We cover Horns Green, about 15 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Horns Green normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in Horns Green?
Yes, we do: Horns Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
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.

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
