About our asbestos garage roof removal in Marlpit Hill
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Marlpit Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical garage roof jobs in Marlpit Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage conversions
For rented homes with garages close to Edenbridge station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Yes. Edenbridge station is close to the centre of Marlpit Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Marlpit Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

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.
