About asbestos garage roof removal in CT11
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include sheet garages and roofs to clear before demolition, involving cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it.
- Describe the garage
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- You get the waste paperwork

We plan garage roof jobs in Ramsgate for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in CT11
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Single garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
CT11: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
