Need garage roof removal in Dungate?
Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Common questions in Dungate
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Dungate and the area towards Sittingbourne station, about 2.9 miles north.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Why people call us in Dungate
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Dungate:
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-to roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage conversions
For rented homes with garages close to Sittingbourne station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

- The method and controls
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
