How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Kent Street by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Kent Street
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Sheet garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Senlac Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Questions from Kent Street
Are garage roofs in Kent Street normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Kent Street homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in Kent Street?
We do: our area includes Kent Street and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
