Asbestos garage roof removal near Dungeness
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From garages due a new roof and single and double garage roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Dungeness may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

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.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Dungeness by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Clear the way to the work area

Your questions about garage roof removal in Dungeness
Are garage roofs in Dungeness usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Dungeness?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you cover Dungeness?
Yes, Dungeness is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
