Asbestos garage roof removal in Twitham
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include block garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Twitham are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Asbestos garage roofs around Twitham
Twitham is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Twitham has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Twitham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Twitham to Canterbury (7 miles away).
Near open spaces such as Monk's Wall nature reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together. Older houses in Twitham, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Nearby, we also cover Well Head (1 mile west), Staple (1 mile east), Shatterling (1 mile north), Wingham (1 mile north-west) and Barnsole (1 mile east). Further out, we also cover Canterbury (7 miles west), Margate (10 miles north-east), Dover (9 miles south), Folkestone (13 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (11 miles north-east).

Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Other services in Twitham
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
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.

How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
