How asbestos garage roof removal works in Stowting

Garages around Stowting may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
These come up again and again:
- Garage blocks
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Around Tolsford Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How we price garage roof removal
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area

- How many samples are needed

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Questions from Stowting
Are garage roofs in Stowting typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
