How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wrotham
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 lean-tos and carports and single garages, we cover cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In a village like Wrotham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Wrotham
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you let a house with a garage near Borough Green & Wrotham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- If the price includes VAT
