What we deal with in Stede Quarter
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garage blocks
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Headcorn station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

FAQs for Stede Quarter
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My garage in Stede Quarter 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.
Do you cover Stede Quarter?
Yes. We cover Stede Quarter and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
