Questions from Ringwould
Are garage roofs in Ringwould normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Walmer station?
Yes. Walmer station is about 1.3 miles north of Ringwould, and we cover both.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A258, tell us about parking and access.

- Whether VAT is included
- How fibres will be kept down
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Ringwould, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
The scope of garage roof removal

- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What affects the price in Ringwould
What drives the price:
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
