Typical garage roof jobs in Eccles
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.

- Garages due for demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due a new roof
Across Eccles, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Common questions in Eccles
Do you cover Eccles and the area around New Hythe station?
Yes. New Hythe station is about 1.1 miles south-west of Eccles, and we cover both.
My garage in Eccles has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Is my garage roof in Eccles asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
