East Langdon garages: local notes
East Langdon is about 3 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. Properties in East Langdon range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We work right across the region, from East Langdon to Canterbury (13 miles away).
In East Langdon, many garages and sheds were added decades ago. If you are a landlord with garages near Martin Mill station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. The sea is within about 4 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Questions from East Langdon
Do you cover small places like East Langdon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in East Langdon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in East Langdon
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Typical garage roof jobs in East Langdon

- Old, cracked sheets
- Block garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
Around Dover Western Heights, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated

What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in East Langdon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
