We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about single garages and storm-damaged sheets.
Rural garages near Yalding are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Yalding
Do you work near Yalding station?
Yes. Yalding station is about 1 mile west of Yalding, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Yalding?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
