Asbestos garage roof removal for Grange properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and garage blocks, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Grange, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Grange questions
Could my house in Grange contain asbestos?
If your home in Grange was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Grange has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Grange
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
If you are a landlord with garages near Gillingham (Kent) station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
