About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kingston by Sea

The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and single and double garage roofs.

In Kingston by Sea, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your options compared

Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Why people choose us

FAQs for Kingston by Sea

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

My garage in Kingston by Sea has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

How long will the job take?

It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.

When can you start?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
