Asbestos garage roof removal in Meresborough
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Meresborough
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes.
Rural garages near Meresborough are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that is needed.

What we deal with in Meresborough
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage blocks
- Double garages
Properties near Detling Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Your options compared
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. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Meresborough, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. We plan garage roof jobs in Meresborough for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.

Common questions in Meresborough
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Meresborough generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
