Asbestos garage roof removal in North Street
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and garages due a new roof, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In towns and villages like North Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about garage roof removal in North Street
Do you come out to small villages like North Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in North Street has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover North Street?
Yes, we do: North Street is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
