Asbestos garage roof removal near Kingston Gorse
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about carport roofs and single garages.
Rural garages near Kingston Gorse are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. The work area is kept clear while we are working. In December, it’s dark in Kingston Gorse by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access

For businesses and landlords in Kingston Gorse
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kingston Gorse must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage 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.
Questions from Kingston Gorse
My garage in Kingston Gorse has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Kingston Gorse have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kingston Gorse may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
