Asbestos garage roof removal for Meopham
Asbestos garage roof removal for Meopham properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Meopham and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garages due a new roof and lean-tos and carports, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In a smaller place like Meopham, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Meopham questions
Could my house in Meopham contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Meopham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Meopham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Do you cover Meopham?
Yes. We cover Meopham and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Meopham
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Carport roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Meopham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Corrugated sheets

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
