How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kingston
Many garages built before 2000, in Kingston and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and lean-to roofs, including cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Kingston are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Kingston
Are garage roofs in Kingston normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Kingston have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Kingston were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
