Common questions in Norton Ash
Do you work near Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Norton Ash, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Norton Ash?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Norton Ash properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like Norton Ash, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

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. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
