Asbestos garage roof removal near Luxted
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Luxted. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and pieces of broken roof, including corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Garages around Luxted are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Luxted questions
My garage in Luxted has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Chelsfield station?
Yes. Chelsfield station is about 3.2 miles north-east of Luxted, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
