Asbestos garage roof removal in Snodland
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From broken sheets after high winds and garages due a new roof, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
In areas like Snodland, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- Licensed or non-licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

For businesses and landlords in Snodland
If you manage or own a block in Snodland, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you run a business from older premises in Snodland, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Keeping things safe:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Snodland
Are garage roofs in Snodland usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Snodland from London?
We cover Snodland, about 26 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
