About our asbestos garage roof removal in New Street
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage blocks, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In a village like New Street, 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, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

How we work
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. Late-December sunset in New Street is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Common questions in New Street
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like New Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is my garage roof in New Street asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What we deal with in New Street
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due a new roof
- Old, cracked sheets
If you let a house with a garage near Meopham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
