About our asbestos garage roof removal in Guston
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and garages due for demolition, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards.
Garages around Guston may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Guston
Do you cover Guston from London?
We cover Guston, about 66 miles from central London.
My garage in Guston 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.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

Typical garage roof jobs in Guston
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
For rented homes with garages close to Martin Mill station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Comparing quotes
- What category of work it is
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- The documents you will receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Step by step
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Guston by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Guston garages: local notes
Guston is about 2 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. We work across Guston and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Guston is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
In Guston, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Near open spaces such as Dover Western Heights, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together. The sea is within about 3 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance

After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once we’re done:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Options to consider in Guston
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
