Asbestos garage roof removal in Kingswood
Many garages built before 2000, in Kingswood and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are block garages and lean-to roofs.
Homes in towns and villages like Kingswood often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Kingswood
Do you cover Kingswood and the area around Kingswood station?
Yes. Kingswood station is close to the centre of Kingswood, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Kingswood from London?
We cover Kingswood, about 15 miles from central London.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
For businesses and landlords in Kingswood
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- No removal until we know what it is
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Kingswood is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- You get the waste paperwork
Getting ready

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Kingswood
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Surrey.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage conversions
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Colley Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
