How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kingsgate
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and old, cracked sheets, we cover ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Kingsgate may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Kingsgate
Do you cover small places like Kingsgate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Kingsgate and the area around Broadstairs station?
Yes, we cover Kingsgate and the area towards Broadstairs station, about 1.6 miles south.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
The scope of garage roof removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

After we have finished in Kingsgate
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we’re done:
- Give us a rough size
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Kingsgate is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
