Asbestos garage roof removal for Stone Cross
Your questions about garage roof removal in Stone Cross
Do you work near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, we cover Stone Cross and the area towards Ashurst Kent station, about 1 mile west.
Could my house in Stone Cross contain 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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Stone Cross
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
In a village like Stone Cross, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once we are done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Stone Cross:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages being knocked down
- Garage blocks
If you let a house with a garage near Ashurst Kent station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Comparing quotes
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
