Asbestos garage roof removal for Mereworth properties

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Mereworth by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

FAQs for Mereworth
Do you cover Mereworth and the area around Wateringbury station?
Yes, we cover Mereworth and the area towards Wateringbury station, about 2 miles east.
Are garage roofs in Mereworth typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
