How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kingston Stert
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and carport roofs, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Kingston Stert are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Kingston Stert
Are garage roofs in Kingston Stert usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Kingston Stert?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
