Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
After we’ve finished in Cliffe
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we’re done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Typical garage roof jobs in Cliffe
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Block garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Single and double garage roofs
Older houses in Cliffe, near Church of St Helen or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

FAQs for Cliffe
Do you cover small places like Cliffe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Cliffe and the area around Higham station?
Yes. Higham station is about 2.6 miles south-west of Cliffe, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
