About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chilham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Chilham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Common questions in Chilham
Do older homes in Chilham have asbestos?
If your home in Chilham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Chilham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Chilham is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
