How asbestos garage roof removal works in Littlestone-on-Sea
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Littlestone-on-Sea. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In places like Littlestone-on-Sea, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Littlestone-on-Sea

Are garage roofs in Littlestone-on-Sea typically asbestos?
