Asbestos garage roof removal in Mud Row
Your questions about garage roof removal in Mud Row
Is asbestos common in Mud Row homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mud Row may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Mud Row from London?
We cover Mud Row, about 43 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you cover Mud Row?
Yes, Mud Row is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Mud Row
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garages being knocked down and garages due a new roof, including cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Mud Row, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
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 is a serious falls risk too. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage conversions
- Double garages
- Carport roofs
- Garage blocks
Older houses in Mud Row, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

Other services in Mud Row
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mud Row must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
