Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Kingsnorth
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage conversions
If you’re a landlord with garages near Gillingham (Kent) station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Kingsnorth, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The scope of garage roof removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Kingsnorth questions
How far is Kingsnorth from London?
Kingsnorth is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Kingsnorth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
