Asbestos garage roof removal for Maplescombe properties
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about sheet garages and brittle, leaking roofs.
Garages around Maplescombe may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Maplescombe is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.

Why people call us in Maplescombe
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages due for demolition
If you are a landlord with garages near Eynsford station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What isn’t included
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Common questions in Maplescombe
Do you work near Eynsford station?
Yes, we cover Maplescombe and the area towards Eynsford station, about 1.6 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Maplescombe homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Maplescombe can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
For businesses and landlords in Maplescombe
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
