Asbestos garage roof removal for Neatham properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.
In places like Neatham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Why people call us in Neatham
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Block garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Across Neatham, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Neatham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
After we’ve finished in Neatham
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Neatham: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Neatham typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Neatham and the area around Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is about 1.3 miles south-west of Neatham, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
