About our asbestos garage roof removal in Teston
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about double garages and broken sheets after high winds.
Garages around Teston may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Teston questions
How far is Teston from London?
Teston is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Teston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
