About our asbestos garage roof removal in Greenhill
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From garages being knocked down and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
Homes in areas like Greenhill often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see

- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Domestic and commercial work
- Clear written quotes

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Duty holders and landlords in Greenhill
For managing agents and freeholders in Greenhill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Greenhill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.

Greenhill: your questions answered
Do older homes in Greenhill have asbestos?
If your home in Greenhill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes. Herne Bay station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Greenhill, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
