After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wouldham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about double garages and prefab garages with cement walls, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Wouldham may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Wouldham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
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.
Wouldham questions
My garage in Wouldham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Wouldham from London?
We cover Wouldham, about 26 miles from central London.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in Wouldham?
Yes. We cover Wouldham and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Wouldham
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Carport roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
If you’re a landlord with garages near Halling station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
