Asbestos garage roof removal near Lympne
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are block garages and lean-tos and carports.
Garages around Lympne may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These come up again and again:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Pieces of broken roof
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
In Lympne, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What paperwork you get
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Questions from Lympne
Do you cover Lympne from London?
We cover Lympne, about 57 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Lympne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
