Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Styants Bottom
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garage conversions
- Concrete-panel garages
- Pieces of broken roof
Near open spaces such as Dryhill Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Styants Bottom
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In a village like Styants Bottom, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Styants Bottom, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Styants Bottom
Do you cover Styants Bottom and the area around Kemsing station?
Yes. Kemsing station is about 1 mile north-west of Styants Bottom, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
