Asbestos garage roof removal for Kimpton
Asbestos garage roof removal for Kimpton properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Kimpton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and lean-to roofs, involving downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Kimpton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Options to consider in Kimpton

Why people choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Questions from Kimpton
Is asbestos common in Kimpton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kimpton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Kimpton from London?
Kimpton is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
