Asbestos garage roof removal in Punnett's Town
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and garage conversions, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In towns and villages like Punnett's Town, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What else we do in Punnett's Town
Punnett's Town questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Punnett's Town homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Punnett's Town may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Duty holders and landlords in Punnett's Town
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What we deal with in Punnett's Town
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Pieces of broken roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Properties near Selwyns Wood may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- Which areas and materials are covered
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
