Asbestos garage roof removal in Longfield
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garages before a new roof or conversion and pieces of broken roof, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Longfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Longfield
My garage in Longfield has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Longfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
