Asbestos garage roof removal for High Halstow properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around High Halstow. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From lean-tos and carports and garages before a new roof or conversion, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
Garages around High Halstow may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for High Halstow
My garage in High Halstow has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like High Halstow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
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 cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in High Halstow, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Typical garage roof jobs in High Halstow
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Medway.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages being knocked down
- Sheet garages
- Block garages
- Garage conversions
Near open spaces such as Bishop Saltings, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Before you book anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
DIY and asbestos
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
