Asbestos help in Rodmersham
Asbestos garage roof removal near Rodmersham
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are carport roofs and broken sheets after high winds.
In a village like Rodmersham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Rodmersham
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Rodmersham from London?
Rodmersham is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
