Asbestos garage roof removal for Ringlestone
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ringlestone
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and single and double garage roofs.
In Ringlestone, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Ringlestone questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Ringlestone homes?
If your home in Ringlestone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is my garage roof in Ringlestone asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Ringlestone, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Ringlestone were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- File the waste paperwork

- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
