About our asbestos garage roof removal in Broadstairs
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and carport roofs, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a town like Broadstairs, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
After we’ve finished in Broadstairs
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
For businesses and landlords in Broadstairs
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Broadstairs, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Common questions in Broadstairs
Do you cover Broadstairs from London?
We cover Broadstairs, about 66 miles from central London.
Do you work near Broadstairs station?
Yes, we cover Broadstairs, including the streets around Broadstairs station.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
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.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Step by step
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Broadstairs is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
