Asbestos garage roof removal for Moorstock properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Moorstock. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s carport roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In a village like Moorstock, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Moorstock, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
The process
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Moorstock is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Moorstock: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Moorstock usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you cover Moorstock?
Yes. We cover Moorstock and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
