Asbestos garage roof removal near Four Oaks
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about block garages and single and double garage roofs, including ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In places like Four Oaks, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Four Oaks
Are garage roofs in Four Oaks usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Four Oaks contain 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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

What we deal with in Four Oaks
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage blocks
- Garages due a new roof
- Broken sheets after high winds
For rented homes with garages close to Faversham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before booking anyone
- Any exclusions
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What category of work it is
- The documents you’ll receive
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you manage or own a block in Four Oaks, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
