Asbestos garage roof removal near Doddington
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Doddington
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From single and double garage roofs and garages due for demolition, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Doddington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doddington: your questions answered
Do you work near Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 4 miles north-east of Doddington, and we cover both.
My garage in Doddington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Double garages
Older houses in Doddington, near Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
