About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ryarsh
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and roofs to clear before demolition.
Garages around Ryarsh may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Duty holders and landlords in Ryarsh
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
Every job is quoted in writing. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Sheet garages
Near open spaces such as Burham Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
