Asbestos garage roof removal for Westerham properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Westerham. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about single garages and storm-damaged sheets, involving downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Garages around Westerham are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Westerham, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Westerham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Questions from Westerham
Could my house in Westerham contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Westerham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Westerham by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
How to get a quote
