Kent’s interwar housing is full of corrugated cement garage roofs laid between the 1950s and 1980s. Most contain asbestos. Rain, frost and moss have left thousands in poor condition.
We visit free of charge within the week, assess the sheets and fixings, measure the roof and confirm the work category. Your fixed price covers removal, disposal and all documentation.
Whole sheets lifted and lowered by hand only
Consignment note issued as proof of disposal
Every garage roof removal follows four clear steps, from your free survey to a signed consignment note, with no surprises along the way at all.
We get up on the roof, count and measure the sheets, check the structure underneath and confirm the correct work category. No charge and no obligation.
Your written quotation covers labour, bagging, transport, licensed disposal and the consignment note. The figure you receive does not change on the day of the job.
Fixings come out first, then the sheets are lifted intact and brought down carefully. Nothing is slid off the edge, dropped or snapped. Debris in the gutters and on the ground is collected and treated as licensed waste.
Everything leaves site double-bagged with a registered carrier. Your consignment note is with you on completion, ready to keep with your property records or produce for a future sale.
Free survey booked within the week, so a damaged roof isn't left exposed any longer than it needs to be.
Most standard single garages are finished in a single visit.
We flag any rot or failed timbers before you commit to a replacement.
See our Re-Roofs Kent service if you want the new roof handled under the same contract.
FAQS
No, and this is not a minor technicality. Carrying out removal without proper training is a direct breach of CAR 2012, it puts you and those nearby at risk of fibre exposure, and it leaves you holding hazardous waste that no household tip will take. Getting it done properly costs less than most people expect. Ask for the fixed price and judge from there.
A standard single garage is almost always completed in a morning. Larger double garages, units with asbestos cladding on the walls, or properties with multiple outbuildings will take longer, and your written quotation will state the expected duration clearly before you commit.
Garage asbestos roof removal typically falls into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed (NNLW) category. No HSE licence is required, but trained operatives and controlled methods are mandatory throughout. We confirm the exact category at survey and deal with any notification that is needed.
Yes. If you have your own roofer lined up, removal-only is perfectly fine. If you would prefer one team and one contract from start to finish, our Re-Roofs Kent service installs a modern steel or fibre-cement replacement under the same fixed agreement, with no gap left between removal and re-cover.
If you have been searching for asbestos disposal near me, everything is wrapped and double-bagged in compliant packaging, collected by a registered carrier and taken to a licensed disposal facility. The consignment note you receive is the legal record of that entire process. Keep hold of it.
Rarely. Working in tight rear garage blocks is something we do regularly across Kent. Carry distances and vehicle positioning are assessed and planned at survey stage, and any access constraints are reflected in the fixed price you receive rather than appearing as an extra on completion day.
Do not touch it. Pressure-washing asbestos cement is one of the most damaging things you can do, as it blasts fibres loose and spreads contaminated water across the surrounding area. Leave the roof exactly as it is and let us deal with it as-found.
We can give a strong same-day indication from photos, measurements and your postcode. The confirmed fixed price follows the free survey visit, because that is what protects you from any changes arising once work is underway.
£10m public liability and £10m employer liability, carried as standard on every garage roof removal we carry out. Certificates are available before work begins. Landlords and managing agents ask for them routinely, and private homeowners are equally welcome to request them.
