Asbestos garage roof removal for Paddock Wood properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From pieces of broken roof and garages due a new roof, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In a smaller place like Paddock Wood, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Paddock Wood
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
- Garages due for demolition
Older houses in Paddock Wood, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Paddock Wood questions
Do older homes in Paddock Wood have asbestos?
Any home in Paddock Wood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Paddock Wood and the area around Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we cover Paddock Wood, including the streets around Paddock Wood station.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
After we have finished in Paddock Wood
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
