The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garage blocks and carport roofs, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Painters Ash, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Painters Ash: your questions answered
Do you cover Painters Ash from London?
We cover Painters Ash, about 19 miles from central London.
Could my house in Painters Ash contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Painters Ash can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.

What else we do in Painters Ash
Typical garage roof jobs in Painters Ash
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
For rented homes with garages close to Ebbsfleet International station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
For managing agents and freeholders in Painters Ash, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After we’ve finished in Painters Ash
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
