About our asbestos garage roof removal in Satmar
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Satmar. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about garages due for demolition and lean-tos and carports, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Satmar are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you manage or own a block in Satmar, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Satmar by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Can I do it myself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Questions from Satmar
Do you work near Folkestone Central station?
Yes. Folkestone Central station is about 3 miles south-west of Satmar, and we cover both.
My garage in Satmar has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Do you cover Satmar?
Yes, Satmar is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
