Asbestos garage roof removal in Richborough Port
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages before a new roof or conversion and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Garages around Richborough Port may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage blocks
- Single and double garage roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you let a house with a garage near Thanet Parkway station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Garage roof removal around Richborough Port
Richborough Port is about 4 miles south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Properties in Richborough Port range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 922 places across Kent. We work right across the region, from Richborough Port to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Properties near Sandwich and Pegwell Bay may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once. The sea is within about 4 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Common questions in Richborough Port
How far is Richborough Port from London?
We cover Richborough Port, about 64 miles from central London.
Do you work near Thanet Parkway station?
Yes. Thanet Parkway station is about 1.8 miles north of Richborough Port, and we cover both.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work in Richborough Port?
Yes, Richborough Port is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
