Asbestos garage roof removal for Kingsdown properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and sheet garages, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
In Kingsdown, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
For businesses and landlords in Kingsdown
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Kingsdown, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Helpful guides
Questions from Kingsdown
Is asbestos common in Kingsdown homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Kingsdown 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.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are some of the things we deal with in Kingsdown:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garage conversions
If you let a house with a garage near Walmer station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- The documents you will receive
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we’ve finished:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
