Asbestos help in Kingswood
Asbestos garage roof removal in Kingswood
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Kingswood. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In a village like Kingswood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage conversions
- Garages in a row or block
- Single garages
If you’re a landlord with garages near Harrietsham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
How we work
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Kingswood by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know if something’s broken
Getting a price
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: 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.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Helpful photos:
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
You will get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

Are garage roofs in Kingswood normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you work in Kingswood?
We do: Kingswood is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
