How asbestos garage roof removal works in Medway
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. People often contact us about garage blocks and single garages, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
What it costs in Medway
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Garage roofs across Medway
From Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester to its villages, Medway has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.
Gillingham: Across Gillingham, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. For garages on or near the A2 and A231, let us know where we can load. In December, it’s dark in Gillingham by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Medway
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you work in Medway?
Yes. We cover Medway and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
