Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and storm-damaged sheets, including downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Knockholt Pound
My garage in Knockholt Pound has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

We do: Knockholt Pound is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
