Asbestos garage roof removal near Lower Kingswood
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Lower Kingswood tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In a village like Lower Kingswood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Staying safe afterwards:

Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.

FAQs for Lower Kingswood
Do older homes in Lower Kingswood have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lower Kingswood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Lower Kingswood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
