Asbestos garage roof removal in St Lawrence
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From garages due a new roof and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
In places like St Lawrence, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
Near open spaces such as Stenbury Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

St Lawrence: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in St Lawrence typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover St Lawrence and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes. Shanklin station is about 4.1 miles north-east of St Lawrence, and we cover both.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
