Asbestos garage roof removal in West Street
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels and more.
In towns and villages like West Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we deal with in West Street
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages in a row or block
- Single garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
For rented homes with garages close to Lenham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- An idea of size

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

West Street questions
Do you cover West Street from London?
We cover West Street, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you work near Lenham station?
Yes. Lenham station is about 1.6 miles south-west of West Street, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
