Asbestos garage roof removal near Martin
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and sheet garages.
Rural garages near Martin are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do 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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Martin
Are garage roofs in Martin usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Martin from London?
We cover Martin, about 66 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you cover Martin?
Yes, we do: Martin is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
