How asbestos garage roof removal works in Park Wood
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include garage blocks and storm-damaged sheets, including downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Park Wood, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Lean-to roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A274, tell us about parking and access.

Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

What happens

- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Dig out previous surveys

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Park Wood: your questions answered
Do you cover Park Wood and the area around Maidstone West station?
Yes. Maidstone West station is about 2.6 miles north-west of Park Wood, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Park Wood have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
