About our asbestos garage roof removal in Monk's Hill

Typical garage roof jobs in Monk's Hill
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Headcorn station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

FAQs for Monk's Hill
How far is Monk's Hill from London?
We cover Monk's Hill, about 41 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Monk's Hill homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
