In a village like Scragged Oak, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Scragged Oak: your questions answered
Do you work near Bearsted station?
Yes, we cover Scragged Oak and the area towards Bearsted station, about 3.2 miles south.
Do older homes in Scragged Oak have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is my garage roof in Scragged Oak asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
The scope of garage roof removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- 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
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
