Asbestos garage roof removal for Kilndown properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Kilndown. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and garage conversions, including downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In a village like Kilndown, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Helpful guides
Common questions in Kilndown
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Kilndown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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 contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
