Asbestos garage roof removal for Mersham properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and block garages, including corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In a village like Mersham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Typical garage roof jobs in Mersham
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages in a row or block
- Single garages
- Concrete-panel garages
Older houses in Mersham, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether VAT is included
For businesses and landlords in Mersham
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Mersham
Are garage roofs in Mersham usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Mersham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you cover Mersham?
Yes, Mersham is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Mersham is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
