Asbestos garage roof removal for Well Street properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and single garages, including cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Well Street may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Well Street is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

How we price garage roof removal

- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- The survey scope
- The category of work
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help

- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Well Street

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Well Street questions
Do you work near East Malling station?
Yes, we cover Well Street and the area towards East Malling station, about 0.5 miles east.
Do you cover Well Street from London?
Well Street is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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 normally aren’t licensed.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
