Questions from Blackwater
Are garage roofs in Blackwater normally asbestos?

Blackwater is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

If you run a business from older premises in Blackwater, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
