Asbestos garage roof removal across CT19
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. We often deal with downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about carport roofs and storm-damaged sheets.
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Garage roof removal in CT19
From Folkestone, Cheriton and Newington to its villages, CT19 has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings. Around 3 places in CT19 are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Cheriton: If you let a house with a garage near Folkestone West station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Properties near Sugar Loaf Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together. In December, it’s dark in Cheriton by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in CT19
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.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
Common questions in CT19
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
