Asbestos garage roof removal in Leybourne
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Leybourne is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about single garages and roofs to clear before demolition.
Garages around Leybourne may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Helpful guides
Leybourne: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Leybourne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Are garage roofs in Leybourne usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
