About our asbestos garage roof removal in St Mary Hoo
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and garages due a new roof, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes.
In a village like St Mary Hoo, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Duty holders and landlords in St Mary Hoo
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Why people call us in St Mary Hoo
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near Bishop Saltings may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.

St Mary Hoo: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in St Mary Hoo homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in St Mary Hoo may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is St Mary Hoo from London?
St Mary Hoo is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover St Mary Hoo?
Yes. We cover St Mary Hoo and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
