Asbestos garage roof removal in New Hythe
Asbestos garage roof removal for New Hythe 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 garages being knocked down and garages due a new roof, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters.
In a village like New Hythe, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in New Hythe
Do you cover New Hythe from London?
New Hythe is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in New Hythe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
