Failed garages, extensions and condemned outbuildings account for a significant portion of demolition work across Kent. Demolition asbestos removal is the step that has to come before everything else.
Survey, then asbestos out, then demolition. The order never varies. Waste streams are segregated throughout, transfer notes issued for every stream, slab retained or removed as the project requires.

Slab break-out optional, priced in the quote
Survey first, asbestos out second, structure down third. Every phase documented and priced in writing before a single bar is swung.
An asbestos demolition survey assesses the structure for asbestos content and stability. Party-wall positions, access constraints and neighbour considerations are built into the method statement before any price is produced.
Asbestos removal, take-down, waste streams and the agreed reinstatement level are set out as separate line items within one fixed written figure, so you see exactly what each element costs.
Suspect materials are removed and consigned first. The structure then comes down by hand or machine as scale and access dictate, with dust suppression in place throughout.
All arisings are segregated and removed with transfer notes. Asbestos consignment notes are issued. The site is left at the agreed level: slab, compacted hardcore or clear ground as specified.
The shortcut other demolition firms take is the one that renders the entire waste stream unacceptable at the transfer station.
Rear gardens, shared drives and back-alley garage blocks are straightforward daily work for our teams.
Dust suppression, agreed working hours and party-wall awareness are standard on every job, not optional extras.
Your groundworker receives a cleared, documented footprint delivered on programme.
FAQs
Not if the roof or cladding contains asbestos. Bringing a structure down with asbestos still in it produces contaminated rubble that no licensed transfer station will accept. Done in the correct sequence with asbestos removed first, the total cost is consistently less than resolving the mistake.
Small detached domestic structures rarely require it, though conservation areas, listed building curtilages and certain permitted development conditions change the picture. Party-wall notices may also apply where structures adjoin a boundary. We identify what applies at survey stage. Where there is any doubt, a brief check with the relevant local authority resolves it quickly.
Your choice, priced clearly both ways. Retain it as a base for the next build, or break it out and clear to ground level. Most garden-room and driveway projects keep the slab. Most extension demolitions do not. Tell us what your project needs and both options will be in the quotation.
One to two days is typical for a standard detached garage, covering the asbestos phase, the take-down and site clearance. Structures with complex access or adjoining walls take longer and the expected duration is stated in the quotation before you commit.
Hardcore and metals are separated and directed to recovery as standard. Asbestos is consigned independently to a licensed facility and never introduced to recyclable streams. Documentation is issued for both.
Yes. Internal demolition work sits alongside our soft-strip capability with the same asbestos-first sequencing applied throughout. Structural elements are only removed where your structural engineer’s specification confirms it is safe to do so.
We coordinate it. Confirmation that all services to the structure have been safely isolated is obtained before any demolition begins, arranged through the relevant supplier or a qualified trade as required, and recorded in the job file.
It depends on the structure. A detached garage typically warrants a courtesy conversation. Where a structure adjoins a boundary wall, a clear party-wall position is established before work starts. We advise which applies at survey stage so it is sorted before it has any chance of becoming a problem.
We carry out asbestos removal across Kent, from garage demolitions behind terraces in Maidstone to extension take-downs across the interwar housing belts and outbuilding clearances on rural-fringe properties.
