About our asbestos garage roof removal in Tenterden
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and brittle, leaking roofs, including cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Tenterden, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Tenterden
Do older homes in Tenterden have asbestos?
If your home in Tenterden was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Tenterden generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you cover Tenterden?
Yes, we do: Tenterden is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work
