How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wincheap
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garages in a row or block and lean-tos and carports, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like Wincheap, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Duty holders and landlords in Wincheap
If your business premises in Wincheap were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Wincheap: your questions answered
Do you cover Wincheap and the area around Canterbury East station?
Yes, we cover Wincheap, including the streets around Canterbury East station.
Could my house in Wincheap contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wincheap may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
