Asbestos garage roof removal near Stone Street
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and garages being knocked down.
In a village like Stone Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Stone Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Stone Street and the area around Kemsing station?
Yes, we cover Stone Street and the area towards Kemsing station, about 1.9 miles north.
Do you cover small places like Stone Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
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. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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.
