Asbestos garage roof removal near Monkton
After we’ve finished in Monkton
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Monkton properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about sheet garages and lean-tos and carports.
In a village like Monkton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Monkton
Do you work near Minster station?
Yes. Minster station is about 1.8 miles south-east of Monkton, and we cover both.
Do you cover Monkton from London?
Monkton is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Monkton?
We do: Monkton is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garages due for demolition
- Double garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-to roofs
Near open spaces such as Sandwich and Pegwell Bay, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Questions to ask before you book
- The documents you will receive
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What isn’t included
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Monkton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
