Asbestos garage roof removal near Hoath
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, including bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Hoath, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Hoath, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Typical garage roof jobs in Hoath
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Hoath include:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages due a new roof
Properties near West Blean and Thornden Woods may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What isn’t included
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The access route

To be clear about the scope:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach

Hoath questions
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes, we cover Hoath and the area towards Herne Bay station, about 2.9 miles north-west.
Is asbestos common in Hoath homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hoath may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
