Asbestos garage roof removal in Seal
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Seal. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and lean-to roofs, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Seal, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.

FAQs for Seal
Do older homes in Seal have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Seal may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Seal asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What affects the price in Seal
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
