Asbestos garage roof removal in Hackington
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about garages being knocked down and prefab garages with cement walls.
Rural garages near Hackington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hackington
Do you cover Hackington and the area around Canterbury West station?
Yes, we cover Hackington and the area towards Canterbury West station, about 1.4 miles south.
My garage in Hackington 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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
After we have finished in Hackington
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
