About our asbestos garage roof removal in Densole
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about garages in a row or block and garage conversions.
Garages around Densole may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Densole
My garage in Densole has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Typical garage roof jobs in Densole
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-to roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
For rented homes with garages close to Folkestone West station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The method and controls
- VAT, clearly stated

- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Helpful guides
Your options compared
Just the roof, 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. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results
See how we price jobs or our cost guide.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we have finished:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
