Your questions about garage roof removal in Keston
Do you work in Keston despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Keston
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and garage blocks, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Garages around Keston are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Step by step
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 arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Keston is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- 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
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- How many samples are needed
- How easy it is to reach
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A clear close-up
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
For businesses and landlords in Keston
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
