Asbestos garage roof removal in Pluckley
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include garage conversions and pieces of broken roof, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Pluckley are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Pluckley: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Pluckley generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
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 will advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
