About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ramsgate
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From lean-tos and carports and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Ramsgate, and the old cement roof is generally the first thing to go. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Ramsgate by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Dig out previous surveys
- Warn neighbours if needed

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Ramsgate questions
Is asbestos common in Ramsgate homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ramsgate may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ramsgate from London?
Ramsgate is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ramsgate:
- Garages being knocked down
