Asbestos garage roof removal in Palmarsh
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about block garages and sheet garages, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Palmarsh, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Palmarsh
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Double garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-tos and carports
Around Tolsford Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The method and controls

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What changes the cost:
