Asbestos garage roof removal in Northbourne
Asbestos garage roof removal for Northbourne properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Northbourne. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From prefab garages with cement walls and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters and more.
Garages around Northbourne may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Northbourne
Do you cover Northbourne and the area around Walmer station?
Yes, we cover Northbourne and the area towards Walmer station, about 2.2 miles south-east.
Do you cover Northbourne from London?
We cover Northbourne, about 65 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Why people call us in Northbourne
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages in a row or block
For rented homes with garages close to Walmer station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Staying safe afterwards:

Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
