Asbestos garage roof removal in Sibertswold

Sibertswold garages: local notes
Sibertswold is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We cover Sibertswold as part of Kent, whatever the size of the job. We work in 922 places across Kent. Our area stretches from Sibertswold to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
If you let a house with a garage near Shepherds Well station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Sibertswold is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. The sea is within about 6 miles; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.
Here we cover the CT15 postcode area, and your garage roof job can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Station Road, Hill Avenue and Eythorne Road; we cover every one. For properties just outside Sibertswold, we cover Halfway Street (1 mile south-west), Coldred (1 mile south-east), Waldershare (1 mile east), Eythorne (2 miles north-east) and Lydden (2 miles south).

Step by step
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Sibertswold by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Before we arrive

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Sibertswold questions
Do you cover Sibertswold and the area around Shepherds Well station?
Yes, we cover Sibertswold, including the streets around Shepherds Well station.
My garage in Sibertswold has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with

- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets

DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Duty holders and landlords in Sibertswold
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
