Asbestos garage roof removal for Throwley properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about garages being knocked down and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a village like Throwley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Why people call us in Throwley
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garage blocks
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
Across Throwley, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Throwley: your questions answered
Do you cover Throwley from London?
We cover Throwley, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you work near Faversham station?
Yes, we cover Throwley and the area towards Faversham station, about 3.6 miles north-east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Going forward:

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in Throwley is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

For businesses and landlords in Throwley
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
