Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Thong
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Carport roofs
- Garage conversions
If you are a landlord with garages near Sole Street station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

FAQs for Thong
Do you cover small places like Thong?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Thong has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Thong?
Yes, we do: Thong is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is my garage roof in Thong asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Accredited laboratory results

See our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for 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.

After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
