Asbestos garage roof removal in Challock
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a village like Challock, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we deal with in Challock
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
- Garages in a row or block
If you let a house with a garage near Wye station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. We plan garage roof jobs in Challock for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Challock: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Challock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Challock has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
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. Photos help us check.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
