Asbestos garage roof removal near Potters Corner
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 ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about garage conversions and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Potters Corner may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Potters Corner questions
Do you cover small places like Potters Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Potters Corner from London?
Potters Corner is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

We do: Potters Corner is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Potters Corner by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully

Each job is priced individually. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- Licensed or non-licensed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
- An idea of size
- The access route

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.

Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Properties near Hatch Park may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
