Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Hamstreet properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From garages in a row or block and garages due a new roof, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
Rural garages near Hamstreet are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
Common questions in Hamstreet
Do older homes in Hamstreet have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hamstreet may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Hamstreet?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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. We can test a sample.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work in Hamstreet?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hamstreet and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

What it might be made of
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hamstreet, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

What else we do in Hamstreet
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hamstreet
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage conversions
- Pieces of broken roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
Near open spaces such as Orlestone Forest, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Before booking anyone
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether the job needs notifying

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
