Asbestos garage roof removal near North Street
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about single garages and broken sheets after high winds, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In a village like North Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Carport roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
If you let a house with a garage near Gillingham (Kent) station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

FAQs for North Street
Do you work near Gillingham (Kent) station?
Yes. Gillingham (Kent) station is about 4.2 miles south-west of North Street, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like North Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in North Street by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
