Asbestos garage roof removal in Dunn Street

The scope of garage roof removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Dunn Street
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
Properties near Boxley Hills may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

FAQs for Dunn Street
Do you work on properties 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.
Are garage roofs in Dunn Street usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you cover Dunn Street?
Yes, we do: Dunn Street is within the area we cover in Medway. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

After we’ve finished in Dunn Street
Share the paperwork with your builder.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
