Asbestos garage roof removal in Staplestreet
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and lean-tos and carports.
Garages around Staplestreet may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Garage roofs in Staplestreet
Staplestreet is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Properties in Staplestreet range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Staplestreet is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Staplestreet to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
Older houses in Staplestreet, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Near open spaces such as Blean Woods RSPB Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. The sea is within about 6 miles; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.
Here we cover the ME13 postcode area, and your garage roof job can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Staple Street, Forge Farm Row and Staplestreet Road; we cover every one. Nearby, we also cover Slutshole (1 mile north-east), Hernhill (1 mile north-east), Goodnestone (1 mile north-west), Culmers (1 mile north) and Dargate (1 mile north-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (6 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles west), Whitstable (5 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles west) and Herne Bay (9 miles north-east).
A little further out are Tower keep castle at Chilham (4.2 miles south) and Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (5.7 miles east). Open spaces near Staplestreet include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include White Horse Inn (0.5 miles south-west)
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear written quotes

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Staplestreet
Do you cover Staplestreet and the area around Selling station?
Yes. Selling station is about 1.9 miles south of Staplestreet, and we cover both.
How far is Staplestreet from London?
Staplestreet is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Corrugated cement sheets

What we deal with in Staplestreet
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Roofs to clear before demolition
For rented homes with garages close to Selling station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
