How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kingsdown
Many garages built before 2000, in Kingsdown and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In areas like Kingsdown, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Kingsdown, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Nearby places to Kingsdown
Your questions about garage roof removal in Kingsdown
Do you cover Kingsdown and the area around Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 2.9 miles north-east of Kingsdown, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Kingsdown have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kingsdown can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
After we’ve finished in Kingsdown
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
