How asbestos garage roof removal works in Pegwell
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From pieces of broken roof and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Pegwell may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Options to consider in Pegwell
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor.

Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is my garage roof in Pegwell asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
