Which option is right?

Asbestos garage roof removal near Ridley
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about lean-tos and carports and prefab garages with cement walls.
Garages around Ridley may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Ridley: your questions answered
My garage in Ridley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Ridley homes?
Any home in Ridley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ridley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

Why people call us in Ridley
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
If you let a house with a garage near Meopham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
