Asbestos garage roof removal in New Ash Green
Asbestos garage roof removal near New Ash Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are carport roofs and garages due for demolition.
In a village like New Ash Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

FAQs for New Ash Green
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes. Longfield station is about 2.1 miles north of New Ash Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in New Ash Green homes?
If your home in New Ash Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
