How asbestos garage roof removal works in Boughton Monchelsea
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From storm-damaged sheets and garages in a row or block, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Boughton Monchelsea are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Clear written quotes
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Common questions in Boughton Monchelsea
Do older homes in Boughton Monchelsea have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Duty holders and landlords in Boughton Monchelsea
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
After we have finished in Boughton Monchelsea
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
