For businesses and landlords in St Margarets
If you manage or own a block in St Margarets, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages due a new roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you are a landlord with garages near Farningham Road station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

FAQs for St Margarets
My garage in St Margarets has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover St Margarets from London?
We cover St Margarets, about 16 miles from central London.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards

After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
To avoid problems in future:

Things not to do
