How asbestos garage roof removal works in Peene
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Peene is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages in a row or block.
In areas like Peene, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

FAQs for Peene
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Peene and the area around Folkestone West station?
Yes. Folkestone West station is about 1.8 miles south-east of Peene, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
For businesses and landlords in Peene
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
