Asbestos garage roof removal near The Valley
Asbestos garage roof removal in The Valley
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and double garages.
Garages around The Valley may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance

What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
The Valley: your questions answered
Do you work near Charing station?
Yes. Charing station is about 3.2 miles south of The Valley, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in The Valley typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you cover The Valley?
Yes. We cover The Valley and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
