Asbestos garage roof removal in CT21: what to expect
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and lean-tos and carports.
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Garage roof removal in CT21

Hythe: For rented homes with garages close to Sandling station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Older houses in Hythe, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs. Garage roof removal in Hythe is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- The category of work
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- An idea of size
- The parking area
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Questions from CT21
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
