Asbestos help in Kenley
Asbestos garage roof removal in Kenley
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From storm-damaged sheets and single garages, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Kenley, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Kenley questions
Do you cover Kenley and the area around Kenley station?
Yes. Kenley station is close to the centre of Kenley, and we cover the whole area.
My garage in Kenley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Duty holders and landlords in Kenley
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Kenley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. In December, it’s dark in Kenley by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
Ask for a quote
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
