Asbestos garage roof removal near Kemsley Street
Kemsley Street: your questions answered
Do you work near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. Rainham (Kent) station is about 2.5 miles north-east of Kemsley Street, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Kemsley Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kemsley Street
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From garages in a row or block and sheet garages, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Kemsley Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Duty holders and landlords in Kemsley Street
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kemsley Street must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear advice on your options
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
