Asbestos garage roof removal near The Brents
How asbestos garage roof removal works in The Brents
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about sheet garages and lean-tos and carports, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In places like The Brents, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

The Brents: your questions answered
Do you work near Faversham station?
Yes. Faversham station is about 0.6 miles south of The Brents, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in The Brents normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is my garage roof in The Brents asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
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 shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Related guides
For businesses and landlords in The Brents
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Which option is right?
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. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
