How asbestos garage roof removal works in CT14
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and single and double garage roofs, including cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
What you will pay
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?

- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Reports and results you can share

Garages we deal with in CT14
From Dover, Deal and Walmer to its villages, CT14 has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings. 21 of the places we cover in CT14 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Deal: Across Deal, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. If you let a house with a garage near Deal station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. We plan garage roof jobs in Deal for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork

Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The documents you’ll receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
CT14 questions
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
