What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Swift's Green
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Double garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion

For rented homes with garages close to Headcorn station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What to look for in a quote

- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Swift's Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Common questions in Swift's Green
My garage in Swift's Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Swift's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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 normally needed.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
