After we’ve finished in West Kingsdown
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.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

West Kingsdown: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in West Kingsdown homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in West Kingsdown can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Eynsford station?
Yes, we cover West Kingsdown and the area towards Eynsford station, about 2.6 miles north-west.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
Across West Kingsdown, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

The process
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. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.

- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
