About our asbestos garage roof removal in Tonge
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include block garages and single and double garage roofs, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Tonge, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
- How many samples are needed
- What the material is and its state
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Tonge
Do you work near Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 1.7 miles south-east of Tonge, and we cover both.
How far is Tonge from London?
We cover Tonge, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you work in Tonge?
Yes, we do: our area includes Tonge and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
